    Automatic BP machines (robo nurse)are more accurate and consistent than a nurse with a stethoscope.
    Old school nurses will argue that fact but Automatic BP machines do not have a human factor.
    BP machine manufactures would quickly go out of business if their machines were incorrect.

    I'm not sure that's valid - multiple studies have found that digital thermometers used by hospitals are very inaccurate, yet they are still used almost universally.

    You are 100% correct.
    Digital thermometers are very inaccurate.
    Some are off by several degrees.
    The temporal thermometers are by far the worst.
