Your GP surgery has subscribed you to Viso
What does it mean for you?
Your GP surgery would like to start monitoring your blood pressure from home using an app called Viso. By sharing your blood pressure readings via an easy-to-use app, your doctor will always have a full picture of your blood pressure and can make sure you’re on the right medication plan.
The importance of home monitoring
Research shows that managing your blood pressure and medication from home with the support of your GP is safe and effective, resulting in lower blood pressure for many people.*

How the program works
Viso will ask you to track your blood pressure twice a day for a minimum of 4 days, this is called Blood Pressure Check-in.
Your healthcare team will look at your data and adjust your medication plan if required.
You will be asked to do a Blood Pressure Check-in on a monthly basis if your blood pressure is above the target values set by your healthcare team.
When you achieve your target values, you will be asked on a 6-monthly basis.
As a part of your Blood Pressure Check-in, Viso will ask you a short set of questions related to lifestyle and wellbeing.

Make sure your NHS login is ready via NHS website.

Yes, it is possible to log into Viso on more than one device. However, you will only be allowed to login to one device at a time and will be logged out of the app after 30 minutes of inactivity. If using multiple devices, pay attention when completing tasks without internet connection. These actions will not be updated on the Viso server and may cause errors if conflicting information is entered into different devices.
● Step 1: Check your eligibility
Viso can only be accessed with an invite from your GP. Contact your GP to confirm availability in your area.
● Step 2: Sign in with NHS login
If you are facing problems on the NHS login page, check the NHS login help centre or contact NHS login directly. You can get help for setting up your NHS login, changing your password and other information, and resolving other errors showing on the NHS login page.
● Step 3: Prove Who You Are
During the sign in process, you may be prompted to "Prove Who You Are" and verify your identity to a high level with NHS login. Do note this identity check may take a while so try to log in again after you receive confirmation from NHS that your identity check has been approved. To get help with this process, check the NHS login help centre or contact NHS login directly.
● Step 4: Wait for your treatment plan
If you see a screen asking you to wait for your GP to create a treatment plan, it means that you have successfully logged in but need to wait for a treatment plan to access the rest of Viso. Once your GP has done so, Viso will automatically bring you to the next screen when you next open the app.
