Just 59 per cent of people regularly get their blood pressure checked, the survey revealed.
Four per cent said they never check their blood pressure.
Most people are now tracking their daily step count and weight with at-home technology, but the public needs to keep track of their blood pressure, urged medical expert Dr Achim Max Brenske.
“There are many health measures that we are already consistently tracking, yet blood pressure is a metric that is often not thought about but could be one of the most important,” said the physician.
“Making blood pressure monitoring part of your at-home health checks, with an easy to use wrist or arm monitor, can help to identify triggers and allow you to immediately make simple adjustments to significantly improve your health and wellbeing.
“It’s such a small change that really can make a big difference, and ultimately save your life.”
Just one in five people use health tracking devices to keep a regular check on their blood pressure, according to Braun.
The only way to find out if your blood pressure is high is to have it checked.
High blood pressure could be caused by not doing enough exercise, or by not getting enough sleep.
You’re more at risk of hypertension if you’re over 65, or are overweight.
Cutting back on caffeine could help to lower your blood pressure.
Reducing the amount of salt in your diet and having a healthy, balanced diet could also slash your hypertension risk.
