Internation Selfcare Day
At Scanlab Center, we believe that self-care is not a luxury. It is a responsibility. As we join the global community in marking International Self-Care Day on Thursday July 24, 2025, we are reminded of a simple truth: your health is your greatest asset.

This year’s theme speaks directly to each one of us: “If not now, when?”
In the rush of everyday life, deadlines, demands, and distractions; our own well-being often takes the back seat. But self-care is not selfish. It’s the foundation of your strength, resilience, and quality of life.
Our Commitment to Your Wellness

We are proud to offer comprehensive, gender- and age-specific wellness packages designed to meet your unique needs. Whether you are:
- A young adult navigating career pressures,
- A new mother adjusting to postnatal changes,
- A gentleman concerned about midlife health, or
- A retiree prioritizing longevity and vitality

we have a package tailored for you. Each package is more than a check-up. It’s a statement: “I choose me.”
🩺 Why wait for illness to knock before you open the door to care?

Early detection saves lives. Regular wellness checks empower you with knowledge, reveal hidden risks, and give you the tools to take charge of your health.
This July 24, we invite you to pause, reflect, and take that step towards a healthier you. Because when you take care of yourself, you're better equipped to take care of others.

What is a 24-Hour Ambulatory BP Monitor?
A 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor is a small, wearable device that measures your blood pressure (BP) throughout the day and night while you go about your normal activities. It gives your doctor a more complete and accurate picture of how your blood pressure behaves over a full 24-hour period.

Instead of just one reading at the clinic, this test takes multiple readings—usually every 15–30 minutes during the day and every 30–60 minutes at night.

Why Is It Important?
1. 🧑‍⚕️ More Accurate Than a Single Reading
Blood pressure can go up or down depending on your emotions, stress levels, and surroundings. Many people get nervous in a clinic setting, which can cause “white-coat hypertension”—high BP only in the doctor’s office.
This test shows how your BP behaves in real life, helping avoid misdiagnosis.

2. 🩺 Detects Hidden High Blood Pressure
Some people have normal BP in the clinic but elevated BP at home or during sleep—this is called “masked hypertension.” Left untreated, it increases the risk of heart disease. ABPM helps identify these hidden issues.

3. 🌙 Monitors Night-Time BP Patterns
A healthy person’s blood pressure usually drops at night (called “nocturnal dipping”). If this doesn’t happen, it may indicate a higher risk of stroke, kidney disease, or heart problems.
ABPM tracks night-time patterns that regular tests miss.

4. 💊 Evaluates Effectiveness of Treatment
If you're taking blood pressure medication, ABPM helps check how well it's working throughout the day and night. It can show if medicine wears off too soon, or if your BP spikes at certain times.

5. 📉 Helps Guide Better Treatment
Doctors can use the detailed BP report to:

Confirm if you really have hypertension

Decide whether you need medication

Adjust your treatment more precisely

Who Should Consider It?
Doctors may recommend ABPM if you:

Have borderline or fluctuating BP

Are suspected of having white-coat or masked hypertension

Have organ damage or risk factors like diabetes or kidney disease

Don’t respond well to regular BP medicines

Have BP that seems high only at certain times

Benefits at a Glance
✅ Benefit 💡 Why It Matters
Real-life monitoring Shows true daily BP patterns
Day and night readings Detects issues missed during office hours
Accurate diagnosis Avoids overtreatment or undertreatment
Informs medication timing Improves control of BP throughout 24 hrs

Final Thoughts
The 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor is a powerful tool in managing and understanding blood pressure. It gives doctors the full picture they need to diagnose correctly, treat effectively, and help prevent serious conditions like stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure.

If your doctor suggests ABPM, it’s worth doing. It's painless, non-invasive, and gives valuable insights into your heart health.
