An interfacing digital blood pressure meter with arduino-GSM module for real-time monitoring

Abstract

Heart health is one of the parameters of one's health condition. Besides using the ECG machine, heart conditions can be determined through blood pressure measurement. Patient's hypertension requires the continuous blood pressure measurement. In some conditions, the health of patients cannot be directly checked at healthcare center. For this, the mobile blood pressure meter devices can send data in real time are deemed necessary. The paper discussed about the realization of an interface system that can automatically transmit the blood pressure measurements via Short Message Service (SMS) addressed to the doctor or the medical expert. The result then showed the validity of the test in the form of validation of sensor measurement data and output data SMS (systolic and diastolic). Based on the overall system test waiting time or delay between sending and receiving was at 46.27 seconds for once measurement.
