- Abstract
Diseases are always challenging for human life and quick diagnosis is the best solution to aftermath treatments. Hypertension needs regular blood pressure measurement. Increase in blood pressure levels may lead to heart and other vascular diseases. Complications of untreated high blood pressure (HBP) may lead to might be a heart attack or kidney damage. HBP is a “silent killer” that damages organs without symptoms or warnings. And Elderly, who depend on others, are the most important group to monitor Blood pressure regularly to prevent diseases ahead in future. With ageing and low vision ability, the burden of checking BP becomes more sophisticated. Digital Blood pressure monitors are currently making life easy with a simple press of a button and the elderly still need an advanced version for their usage. The developed design is aimed at the elderly community. The embedded device provides a simple solution for the elderly with visual representations like smiley, neutral and sad icons on a display. The Illiterate population can also benefit from the design as the Visual representation does not need much education or training.
