| contents | <p>High blood pressure's strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressure a necessity in identifying those at risk. This paper presents the design and construction of an automatic blood pressure and heart rate monitoring device that can measure a user's blood pressure and heart rate through an inflatable hand cuff wrapped around the upper arm using oscillometric method. The device consists of integrated pressure sensor, analog signal-conditioning circuitry, analog switch, analog to digital converter, microcontroller hardware and software, cuff, mini air pump, valve, and liquid crystal display. The system was realized with about 80% success rate in blood pressure measurement and very high accuracy. Key words: Blood Pressure, Heart rate, Oscillometric, Analog-to-digital converter, Microcontroller ________________________________________________________________________________________</p> |
