   Not Compatible with Health Vault, March 4, 2011

   This is a nice BP monitor but it is not compatible with HealthVault because Omron has not provided the needed device drivers. This is the main reason why I bought this model.

   I tried using the other Omron driver for the HEM-790IT but it did not work.

   This monitor is compatible with the Omron health management software but this software is not very good. On a 1900×1080 screen the software is 1/8 the size of the screen and cant be re-sized. The software was obviously designed for Windows XP. In fact it makes you install Microsoft Net Framework 1 which has Windows 7 compatibility issues. If you have a newer computer, you will be very disappointed in this software.

   I can’t recommend this monitor to anybody until Omron comes up with HealthVault drivers. If they do, then it is a pretty nice monitor.

   Very nice well built device. I found it very easy to use. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because Omron advertises it as being compatable with Microsoft Healthvault and it does not interface. It will not even work with Omron’s own software. If I would have known this I would not have purchased this model and went with the HEM-790IT. Omron needs to fix this issue very soon. I have tried to contact them with no response.

   This monitor is NOT compatible with Microsoft Health Vault. I contacted Omron about this issue, and Omron says they do not have a driver for MHV, and do not expect to have it any time soon. After a lengthy discussion about Omron falsly advertising a product, claiming that it is compatible with MHV, Omron simply declined to provide any information about when a driver will be published. Omron is not even remotely concerned about this discrepancy. Needless to say, I filed a consumer protection complaint, then a complaint through the FCC and the FTC for misrepresentation. I’m sure those complaints will provide those agencies with sleeping materials. I give this product 2 stars, for Omron’s intentional misrepresentation.
