Abstract
This
pressure
between
program

article presents the development of the blood pressure monitor to display the blood
values on a computer. The microcontroller was used to send the blood pressure data
the blood pressure monitor and the computer via wireless Bluetooth. A computer
calculated
the three blood pressure values with the oscillometric method.

They were the systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure values. In addition, the computer
program could save the blood pressure data to be analyzed later. The blood pressure monitor
were evaluated by measuring the blood pressures for 20 subjects in comparison with the two
commercial blood pressure monitors (EW-3152 and Vital Sign Monitor Life Scope 8). It
showed similar results for systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures.
