Omron Healthcare, Inc. has joined forces with The Dr. Oz Show in an integrated media partnership to help spread the word about the importance of home blood pressure monitoring.  The partnership brings Omron, the leader in the home blood pressure monitor category, together with one of the most credible medical advice talk shows in the business to spread an important message.  

“High blood pressure is a growing concern in the United States among adults and is often referred to as the ‘silent killer’,” said Ranndy Kellogg, Omron Healthcare Vice President Marketing and Product Development. “We’re thrilled to align with ‘America’s Doctor’ in the Sept. 7 season premier to help spread the word about the importance of home blood pressure monitoring, further helping to decrease the risk of heart disease and increase life expectancy.”  

The Omron Healthcare integration includes a sponsored segment on The Dr. Oz Show’s premiere episode, in addition to a consumer incentive that will be revealed by Dr. Oz during the show.  The first 50,000 visitors to www.doctoroz.com will be able to download a $10 coupon good on any Omron Healthcare home blood pressure monitor at participating retailers.

Know Your Five
The Omron and The Dr. Oz Show partnership is a natural fit as they both emphasize the importance of numbers --- numbers that can change your life.  The second season of The Dr. Oz Show stresses viewers to “Know Your Five” and blood pressure is one of the lifesaving numbers American’s need to know.  That is because one in three people suffer from high blood pressure¹, putting those at risk for heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.  And, research shows home blood pressure monitoring can be vital to reducing a patient’s risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure².

Monitoring blood pressure at home is one of the most important things people can do to reduce their risk of a heart attack or stroke.  More than 50 percent of people with high blood pressure who monitor at home show an improvement in medication compliance and are quicker to take action².  With that in mind, it’s critical to use a home blood pressure monitor that provides accurate results like those from Omron which are clinically validated.  American’s can trust their hearts to Omron, as Omron provides the most accurate results on the market.
