Health app blood pressure feature gives range but not average

The blood pressure feature in the health app is pretty good and accurate. It presents the data both numerically and in a chart. You can look back at various time segments, e.g. day, week, month, etc. However it gives the readings in the form of a RANGE. That is all helpful, but what would be even more helpful is if the app also showed *average*. You know, the average BP for a week, or a month, etc.. Or even if you did multiple readings in one day, an average would be helpful. Obviously the user can get the average manually by doing simple arithmetic on the raw data, but that's kind of a time sink and a pain. Does anyone else agree that having BP average would be useful and a good addition to just displaying the range?

You might want to take a look at a third-party app that will display the data in a different way. I like Heart Reports. It generates some very helpful reports that can be saved as a PDF, which makes sharing them really easy. My doctor likes them a lot. It pulls the data right from Health. It's not free but it's about $4. Well worth it in my opinion.
