To ensure we continue providing the highest quality of care, our practice is transitioning to a new home blood pressure monitoring platform called Luscii. This app replaces the previous VISO system and allows our clinical team to monitor your readings more effectively.

Why the change? Luscii offers greater continuity of care. It allows us to track your trends in real-time and provides clear guidance if your blood pressure is outside of your target range.

What you need to do:

1. Keep an eye on your email: If you are registered to use the Viso app, you will receive an invitation from Luscii with instructions on how to download the app.
2. Log in: Use your email address as your username. You will be sent a one-time password (OTP) for secure access.
3. Requirements: The app is free to use and requires a smart device (phone or tablet).

Support and Queries: To keep medical phone lines clear for urgent appointments, please do not contact your GP surgery about app setup or technical issues.

• Technical Support: Contact Luscii directly at +44 800 358 6050 (Monday–Friday, 9 am–5 pm).
• Clinical Queries: For non-urgent questions about your blood pressure management, you can contact your GP Practice.

What happens if I don't stay on top of my high blood pressure?

Persistent high blood pressure can increase your risk of some serious and potentially life-threatening health conditions, such as:

• heart disease
• heart attacks
• strokes
• heart failure
• peripheral arterial disease
• aortic aneurysms
• kidney disease
• vascular dementia

Prevention is key:  If you have high blood pressure, reducing it even a small amount can help lower your risk of these health conditions.

Advice for taking your own blood pressure

When taking your blood pressure readings, it is important to be relaxed, so avoid taking your blood pressure when stressed, in pain or in a hurry.
