Claim: A windmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it. (Internet users, 2019-05-13)
Evidence (2022-01-20): "The question is: how long must a windmill generate energy before it creates more energy than it took to build it? At a good wind site, the energy payback day could be in three years or less; in a poor location, energy payback may be never.
Claim: A windmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it. (Internet users, 2019-05-13)
Evidence (2018-05-09): The concept of net energy must be applied to renewable sources of energy, such as windmills and photovoltaics. A two-megawatt windmill contains 260 tonnes of steel requiring 170 tonnes of coking coal and 300 tonnes of iron ore, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons. The question is: how long must a windmill generate energy before it creates more energy than it took to build it? At a good wind site, the energy payback day could be in three years or less; in a poor location, energy payback may be never. Notice, the bold, italicized section was omitted in the meme (and the inflammatory "hydrocarbon-spewing processes and machines" added). Hughes wasn’t saying windmills take more energy to build than they produce, just that it depends on the location. Windmills in good locations might break even relatively quickly, while bad locations might never do so. [...] This meme is both dishonest and wrong in its claim. It takes a book excerpt and distorts the author’s meaning completely. Not only do most windmills produce more energy than they take to build, the factor is about 20 times more.

The question is: how long must a windmill generate energy before it creates more energy than it took to build it? At a good wind site, the energy payback day could be in three years or less; in a poor location, energy payback may be never. So Mr Hughes was saying only that placing windmills in bad places may mean they don’t generate enough energy to "pay back" the energy it cost to produce them, not that all turbines will fail to do so. [...] A 2010 analysis of fifty separate studies found that the average wind turbine, over the course of its operational life, generated 20 times more energy than it took to produce. This level was "favourable" in comparison to fossil fuels, nuclear and solar power.

Evidence (2019-02-05): A book co-edited by Thomas Homer-Dixon contained a passage stating that windmills "might never generate as much energy as was invested in building [them]." This passage was written by David Hughes. [...] In August 2015, a meme posted to the Google+ group "The Secret Society of Anti-AGW-ACC Cultism," an organization that claims climate change is a hoax, reproduced the words allegedly written by Thomas Homer-Dixon, the Associate Director of the Waterloo Institute for Complexity and Innovation, on the subject of windmills. As his statements were presented in that meme, Homer-Dixon appeared to have asserted that windmills never produce as much energy as is expended in building them: [...] Hughes did write that some windmills might not recoup their energy-construction costs, but he didn't assert, as the meme implied, that no windmills will ever generate as much energy as was invested in building them. In fact, he allowed that a windmill situated at a good location could pay back the energy costs of creating it in under three years, but that aspect was omitted from the memed version of his quote:
Claim: Blood pressure tracking apps can replace a cuff (Facebook User, 2024-04-08)
Evidence (2024-04-08): Misleading: Despite its claims, the blood pressure app promoted in the Facebook post doesn’t actually measure blood pressure, but allows users to track blood pressure measurements taken with a conventional blood pressure measuring cuff. Unlike the app, blood pressure measuring cuffs are considered medical devices that are subject to oversight by bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Commission to ensure they produce accurate results.
Claim: Blood pressure tracking apps can replace a cuff (Facebook User, 2024-04-08)
Evidence (2024-10-09): A new app to 'uncuff' blood pressure monitoring [...] - Researchers have developed a groundbreaking smartphone app that measures blood pressure using a smartphone's built-in sensors, eliminating the need for traditional cuffs. This technology can make blood pressure monitoring more accessible and convenient, especially for underserved populations. By allowing users to measure their blood pressure anytime and anywhere, the app could revolutionize cardiovascular care and improve early detection of hypertension. [...] "This app would be really useful in low-income settings where people may not even have existing access to blood pressure tools." Dhamotharan said. "Being able to measure blood pressure more frequently would allow an individual to track any significant changes in blood pressure, monitor for hypertension, and be able to manage their conditions with that knowledge."

Evidence (2024-06-26): Understand that this is not an accurate way to check your blood pressure. While these apps are a great idea, the unfortunate news is that their results are not reliable [10] It is considered a "recreational" medical device and is not a legitimate medical instrument that records your blood pressure. Do not use one of these apps and assume that the information provided is accurate or valid. [...] Use a cuff to get a baseline reading. Since cuffless technology is in its infancy, you should take a reading of your blood pressure with an arm cuff before you start taking readings at home without a cuff.[18] [...] - While you can use a wrist cuff to measure your blood pressure, it’s much less accurate than an arm cuff.

One of its perks is that it can be used on a smartphone from the comfort of your own home, without the need to deploy a wearable or find a fancy machine. [...] Some phone apps can help measure blood pressure. However, phone apps generally help you monitor your blood pressure but do not measure heart rate. They have helpful features such as reminders and blood pressure tracking and reminders to take blood pressure medication. [...] It is, however, important to note that blood pressure apps are not a replacement for services from your medical doctor. You must combine an exercise routine with a healthy diet to manage your blood pressure best.

Evidence (2022-08-15): Managing blood pressure at home is already difficult, and syncing blood pressure equipment up to an app doesn’t make the process any better, a new study found. In this case, just like many others, technology isn’t a good replacement for medical support. Millions of adults in the United States have uncontrolled blood pressure, and high blood pressure can put people at risk for heart disease and stroke. Helping people manage their blood pressure is a major goal for health systems — but just sending someone who has high blood pressure home with a cuff isn’t particularly helpful, research shows. What does help is pairing people’s at-home blood pressure tracking with education support programs, regular counseling about medications from pharmacists, or systems that send regular updates to doctors. Those types of add-ons, though, are expensive and time-consuming. Apps, on the other hand, are cheap and quick — and some blood pressure cuffs now come with paired apps that can interpret the results and make recommendations.
Claim: Blood pressure tracking apps can replace a cuff (Facebook User, 2024-04-08)
Evidence (2023-11-20): Today, a new generation of blood pressure devices aims to make it easier to diagnose—and control—hypertension. Unlike traditional devices, they do without the arm cuff and offer blood pressure values on demand, should the user press their finger on a sensor, or continuously, if measured by a watch, ring or bracelet. [...] The development of these devices for measuring blood pressure without a blood pressure cuff is progressing rapidly, but that doesn’t mean they are ready for use in the medical world. "Unfortunately, the pace of evidence, regulation and validation testing has lagged behind the pace of innovation and direct consumer marketing," write Stephen P. Juraschek, physician investigator at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues in a review published in September in Current Cardiology Reports. [...] But, encouragingly, the study also found that "smartwatch-based cuffless [blood pressure] monitoring is feasible for out-of-office monitoring in the real world"—as, on average, participants measured their blood pressure 1.5 times per day.
Claim: Blood pressure tracking apps can replace a cuff (Facebook User, 2024-04-08)
Evidence (2024-09-27): A newly developed Android phone app is able to remotely estimate pressure in a person's arteries as their heart squeezes, providing potentially life-saving details on individual health without the need for specialized equipment. [...] Smartphones can't apply pressure to stop and restart blood flow as a traditional blood pressure cuff does. As an alternative approach, the app uses the force of gravity and the force of finger pressure on the phone touchscreen to figure out pulse pressure. [...] "Development of a cuffless blood pressure measurement device that does not require any external calibration is the holy grail – such a device currently does not exist," says biomedical engineer Sanjeev Shroff, from the University of Pittsburgh.

Evidence (2021-04-08): If you have high blood pressure, home monitors can be a great way to track your levels and keep them under control. Most of the devices currently available are versions of what your healthcare provider uses: stand-alone devices with cuffs that you apply to your wrist or upper arm. [...] Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other devices that aim to measure your blood pressure without an inflated cuff, however, do things differently. They gather other biological data from your body and use that to approximate your blood pressure. A number of devices do this by using optical sensors to detect the movement of blood inside your body. A common metric that can be used to estimate blood pressure, called pulse transit time, represents how long it takes a pressure wave created by a heartbeat to travel between two points along an artery. [...] A few smartwatches purport to measure blood pressure in the standard way, using an inflatable cuff.

Evidence (2021-07-13): Amazfit smartwatches will soon get a new app that can monitor blood pressure without the need for a separate arm cuff. PumpBeats is a system that measures blood pressure using the watch's optical sensors, and Zepp Health (Amazfit's parent company) says that it's given impressive results in clinical testing on hospital patients with hypertension. [...] Apps like these can't replace conventional blood pressure monitoring, and still have to be configured using a cuff, but can be a useful extra tool for people managing their condition at home. Zepp Health announced the new blood pressure tool at its Future of Health conference, where it also unveiled a new smartwatch operating system – Zepp OS – which looks set to replace the Amazfit OS used by devices like the Amazfit Bip, GTR 2, and GTS 2.
