Abstract

This report describes the application of the biomedical theory and communication
theory. This project "PC Based Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate Monitoring System" is
proposed as it can take the place of the conventional blood pressure monitoring
systems that are currently available in the market (example: the mercury tube blood
pressure monitors and electronic blood pressure monitors). The traditional method of
measuring blood pressure using the mercury tube and stethoscope requires an
individual who is skillful in order to get accurate measurements. Theelectronic blood
pressure monitor makes this task much easier as a person only needs to place it onthe
arm and activate it.No expert personnel are needed. This project would be an update
of the electronic blood pressure monitor as it would be controlled by the Personal
Computer. The Personal Computer (PC) is chosen asthe base platform for this project
because the majority of people have PC's. A LabVIEW software interface will be
used to display the readings and control the blood pressure monitor. The readings are
sent to the PC from the blood pressure monitorunit via the PC Serial Port.
