Summary: | Blood pressure meter is an essential instrument to determine our blood
pressure status. Nowadays, there are various types of blood pressure meter available
manufactured f r om various companies. In order to meet the demand on telemedicine
and technology advancement, a new f o rm of blood pressure meter is desirable. This
prototype of blood pressure meter is interfaced with a personal computer (PC) which
able to simulate the measurement process in real time. The proposed system was
named e-BPMS (Electronic Blood Pressure Measurement System) suggests the usage
of both hardware and software in determining blood pressure reading. Hardware
elements operate on oscillometric principle which gives the results in terms of
systolic, diastolic and MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure). Furthermore, these results will
be presented and simulated on the software end. e-BPMS graphical user interface
(GUI) was developed by using Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) language which highlights the
user friendly attributes. Moreover, the simulated waveform will evaluate the blood
pressure and gives beneficial advises in term of controlling blood pressure to be
optimal. This application shows significant improvement on the overall performance
and gives reliable results. The framework used to design e-BPMS is easy to
understand and it can be extended further to endorse new application area. |
