Welcome!
Hypertension is a common ailment that damages blood vessels and is a precursor to major illnesses such as kidney failure, strokes, and heart disease. Millions of people in the United States and around the world are afflicted with some form of hypertension. Our team's goal is to design a wireless medical diagnostic device to monitor blood pressure. The device will use Bluetooth communication to link to a personal computer for data acquisition. Through the aid of our device, individuals can keep track of their blood pressure more frequently. As a result, patients can reduce consequences from irregular blood pressure. This also means less visits to the doctor! The device will accurately classify an individual's blood pressure according to the chart provided by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
Our device not only can be used in the comforts of home but can be used by trained professionals. Multiple devices can be linked to a central station to monitor multiple patients at any given time. Autonomy of the device relieves qualified personnel to address other equally important tasks in their day to day routine. Ultimately, lives will be saved and life spans will be prolonged.
