Taking blood pressure levels at home or work with a home blood pressure monitoring device may help determine a person's true range of blood pressure readings and avoid false readings from the white coat hypertension effect. More formal assessment may be made with an ambulatory blood pressure device that takes regular blood pressure readings every half an hour throughout the course of a single day and night. Aside from the white coat effect, blood pressure readings outside of a clinical setting are usually slightly lower in the majority of people. However the studies that looked into the risks from hypertension and the benefits of lowering the blood pessure in affected patients were based on the one-off clinic readings.

Basic digital blood pressure monitors are relatively inexpensive, making it easy for patients to monitor their own blood pressure.Their accuracy can vary greatly, as most have not been validated for accuracy. Upper arm, rather than wrist, monitors usually give readings closer to auscultatory. Some meters are automatic, with pumps to inflate the cuff without squeezing a bulb.
