For example, for a 5-day reading: > Reading 1 (Day 1): 101 / 71 mmHg > > Reading 2 (Day 1): 102 / 72 mmHg > > Reading 3 (Day 2): 103 / 73 mmHg > > Reading 4 (Day 2): 104 / 74 mmHg > > Reading 5 (Day 3): 105 / 75 mmHg > > Reading 6 (Day 3): 106 / 76 mmHg > > Reading 7 (Day 4): 107 / 77 mmHg > > Reading 8 (Day 4): 108 / 78 mmHg > > Reading 9 (Day 5): 109 / 79 mmHg > > Reading 10 (Day 5): 110 / 80 mmHg The average blood pressure is calculated using readings 3 to 10 i.e. 107 / 77 mmHg. #### **❓ Want to Understand How Questionnaires Work?** If you're looking to understand how **Questionnaires** operate more generally, check this [help article.](https://help.abtrace.co/how-do-patient-questionnaires-work?hsLang=en) - [Getting started](https://help.abtrace.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account & Installation](https://help.abtrace.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#account-installation) - [EMIS Setup](https://help.abtrace.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#emis-setup) - [SystmOne Setup](https://help.abtrace.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#systmone-setup) - [Compliance](https://help.abtrace.co/getting-started?hsLang=en#compliance) - [User Management Portal](https://help.abtrace.co/user-management-portal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Users & Practice Configuration](https://help.abtrace.co/user-management-portal?hsLang=en#users-practice-configuration) - [Practice-level emails & reports](https://help.abtrace.co/user-management-portal?hsLang=en#practice-level-emails-reports) - [Rules Management](https://help.abtrace.co/user-management-portal?hsLang=en#rules-management) - [Analytics](https://help.abtrace.co/user-management-portal?hsLang=en#analytics) - [Proactive Monitoring Tool](https://help.abtrace.co/proactive-monitoring-tool?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Patient View](https://help.abtrace.co/proactive-monitoring-tool?hsLang=en#patient-view) - [Population View](https://help.abtrace.co/proactive-monitoring-tool?hsLang=en#population-view) - [Optimisation View](https://help.abtrace.co/proactive-monitoring-tool?hsLang=en#optimisation-view) - [Analytics View](https://help.abtrace.co/proactive-monitoring-tool?hsLang=en#analytics-view) - [FAQs](https://help.abtrace.co/proactive-monitoring-tool?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Automated Recalls](https://help.abtrace.co/automated-recalls?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Recall Guides](https://help.abtrace.co/automated-recalls?hsLang=en#recall-guides) - [Clinical Programmes](https://help.abtrace.co/automated-recalls?hsLang=en#clinical-programmes) - [FAQs](https://help.abtrace.co/automated-recalls?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Patient Engagement](https://help.abtrace.co/patient-engagement?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Patient Portal](https://help.abtrace.co/patient-engagement?hsLang=en#patient-portal) - [Messaging](https://help.abtrace.co/patient-engagement?hsLang=en#messaging) - [Questionnaires](https://help.abtrace.co/patient-engagement?hsLang=en#questionnaires) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.abtrace.co/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account & log in](https://help.abtrace.co/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#account-log-in) - [Common Errors](https://help.abtrace.co/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#common-errors) - [SystmOne](https://help.abtrace.co/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#systmone) - [EMIS](https://help.abtrace.co/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#emis) - [Network & connectivity](https://help.abtrace.co/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#network-connectivity) - [Contact us](https://help.abtrace.co/contact-us?hsLang=en) [![abtrace-logo-colour@2x-Sep-24-2025-07-33-42-6579-AM](https://help.abtrace.co/hs-fs/hubfs/abtrace-logo-colour@2x-Sep-24-2025-07-33-42-6579-AM.png?width=130&height=63&name=abtrace-logo-colour@2x-Sep-24-2025-07-33-42-6579-AM.png "abtrace-logo-colour@2x-Sep-24-2025-07-33-42-6579-AM")](http://abtrace.co)
