THE PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
The Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal Printer is a machine that shows the result on the
screen and prints out the result of blood pressure through thermal printing — by means of heat.
The print out also includes the time and date of when the blood pressure reading occurs.
To resolve this problem, we created a Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal Printer that has
its own power supply to regulate power for smoother output of voltage. Power banks can be an
alternative portable charger for the device during power outage. A feature added in this
innovation is the time and date of the test, to be printed out on the thermal paper. Every single
material is inexpensive; two of the most important things utilized during the test are Thermal
paper — for thermal printing and Power — to supply power for the blood pressure monitor. This
innovation will be a great help for the patients, also to the health care team, to deliver a printed
result right after each blood pressure reading.
The importance of this study in the major subject class is to contribute unique innovation
for future researchers to discover and might as well fill in the gaps that may be present in this
study; this machine can be one of the future project demonstrations as well.
This study will give importance to Negros Oriental State University (NORSU), to
encourage the students, especially Nursing Students, to try something new in their field despite
having few differences with technology majored subjects.
The people in Negros Oriental would consider Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal Printer
as a machine that will help lessen the time consuming process of blood pressure monitoring and
result distribution, especially to the patients such as children, PWD’s, and senior citizens.
The Researchers of this study created this research paper to have advance knowledge and
reveal the important information to the public, along with the findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of the innovation.
This study generally aims to find out the feasibility of the creation of Blood Pressure
Reader with Thermal Printer and its effectiveness and accuracy in the actual conduct of
demonstration.
3. How much will it cost to buy a Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal Printer?
5. What are the advantages of a Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal Printer?
The immediate objectives of a study about a blood pressure reader with a thermal printer
may vary depending on the specific goals of the study. However, some possible objectives could
be:
1. To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the blood pressure readings obtained from the
device.
2. To construct a blood pressure reader with thermal printer that will be use during:
a) During a routine medical check-up: A healthcare provider may use a blood pressure
reader with a thermal printer during a routine medical check-up to monitor a patient's
blood pressure and track any changes over time.
b) In a hospital setting: Blood pressure readers with thermal printers are commonly used in
hospitals to monitor the blood pressure of patients who are undergoing treatment.
c) During home blood pressure monitoring: A blood pressure reader with a thermal printer
can be used by individuals at home to monitor their blood pressure regularly, as directed
by their doctor or healthcare provider.
d) During post-operative care: After a surgical procedure, a blood pressure reader with a
thermal printer may be used to monitor a patient's blood pressure and ensure they are
recovering properly.
3. To investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of the thermal printer in producing clear and
readable printouts of the blood pressure readings.
4. To determine the durability and longevity of the device, including factors such as battery life
and resistance to wear and tear.
5. To compare the performance of the blood pressure reader with thermal printer to other similar
devices on the market, in order to identify strengths and weaknesses and inform purchasing
decisions.
This study is helpful to Negros Oriental State University since it can serve as a foundation
for further research and may contribute advanced information and understanding for medical,
technology, and programming fields.
Students
This study would greatly help students as they would possibly have to take advance
readings, and by being knowledgeable about using Blood Pressure with Thermal Printer, the
students might take initiative to challenge themselves in trying the innovation to their patients at
home (e.g. parents, siblings, & grandparents).
Community
This study will help the community especially to those who live far from the medical
centers or hospitals. Fares are expensive if the distance is far, understanding this study will be a
great aid as it will enlighten them and can be used for emergency purposes using the innovation
— Blood Pressure with Thermal Printer.
This study covers the process of assembling and observing the effectiveness and accuracy
of the Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal Printer. This study is focused on the use of Blood
pressure Reader with Thermal Printer as an alternative machine of health care team’s direct print
out of the test result.
This study was limited only to use a Wrist Electronic Sphygmomanometer having a rated
voltage DC3V, an Embedded Thermal Receipt Printer with a work voltage DC5-9V, and ESP32
using a USB type C cable to power. An alternative external power supply that can be used if ever
power outages occur is a power bank.
Strategies
The strategy applied in the construction of the Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal
Printer involves planning and designing, constructing and assembling, testing and revising.
The future purpose of this project was to make a convenient and portable design for the

shown in Figure 5.
This section defines how the project is connected through each of the components by way
of their functions and the way how, the components interact. Assembling this project needs time
for revising and testing to prevent unnecessary problems that will occur at any time. The
components of this project are all capable of their functions and of good quality.
The electrical section which will be used to make it function is only a box-type 9 volts
carbon zinc battery. The output section is only composed of a switch which allows you to control
the toolbox with the LED light on or off.

Limitations
Two of the disadvantages of the blood pressure reader with thermal printer are 1.) The
printed result from the thermal printer doesn’t cut off by itself and 2.) The wires outside the box
connected to the wrist band can be easily pulled out in accidental circumstances.
Operating Procedure
Since the Blood Pressure Reader with Thermal Printer is a useful device in times of
emergencies, the following operational procedure should be followed:
1. Plug the supply to the socket.
2. Wear the wrist blood pressure reader on your left wrist.
3. Push the red button to trigger the wrist blood pressure.
4. Wait for the blood pressure reader’s result to display in the monitor.
5. After, the result will be printed out from the thermal printer which will be given to the patient.
Maintenance
To maintain the operation of the thermal printer’s box, check the wiring, clean the box,
and make sure to avoid the circuit to short usually when used. Keep it in proper storage.
