Low-Power Blood Pressure Meter Demonstration Using PIC24FJ128GC010 MCU Family

Blood Pressure Meter Demonstration, a blood pressure meter or sphygmomanometer, is a device that is used to measure blood pressure. The meter is used with an inflatable cuff for restricting blood flow and a pump to inflate the cuff. Digital blood pressure meters typically measure both systolic and diastolic pressures by an oscillometric detection method, using a piezoelectric pressure sensor. A digital blood pressure meter allows easy monitoring of blood pressure at home, in a doctor's office or in a hospital. Today's blood pressure meters must meet the demands of measuring, storing and transmitting blood pressure, pulse and other medical data. The Blood Pressure Meter Demonstration was implemented using the system-on-a-chip PIC24FJ128GC010 MCU
