Popis: Blood Pressure (BP) measurement is an important and major clinical test that is performed to check the health condition of any patient. This is because, it not only reflects the healthy functioning of heart but also gives the information about working of various parts like brain, kidneys, liver etc. Thus it is essential to measure BP at mere accuracy, with less cost and at least effort. The present paper introduces a method that measures BP with respect to its periodicity of time and data of a patient which will be useful to detect the variations in blood pressure with reference to his health and food habits. The data of BP fluctuations with respect to time and date is stored in SD card through which the BP profile of the patient is made readily available. Along with this, the system specifies the nature of BP so that a layman can also understand the BP which decreases the need of a physician. When BP is abnormal, the system gives buzzer alert thus the nearest person can alert the patient. As the report is made clear the physician can easily attend the patient and reduce the risk of deteriorating health of the concerned.
