Health Today Summit started in 2019 as a set of notes kept by people who were tired of two kinds of writing about blood pressure: the clinical material that assumes a medical vocabulary, and the promotional material that promises an outcome.

What we publish sits between them. Short pieces about what the numbers describe, how sleep, salt, movement and stress show up in a reading, and how people live alongside a measurement they check every week.

What this site is not

It is not a clinic and it is not a product. Nothing on this site is for sale, no article is sponsored, and we do not accept affiliate arrangements. If that ever changes, it will be stated at the top of the page, not in a footnote.

We also do not give personalised advice. We cannot see your chart, your medication, or your history, and an article that pretends otherwise would be worse than useless.

How we write

Slowly, and with a bias towards the boring answer. When the honest response to a question is "it depends, and it depends on things only your clinician knows", we write that instead of inventing a rule.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, we would rather hear it than not. Write to us and the correction goes on the page itself, dated.
