Abstract
A portable blood pressure measuring device comprises a casing, a pressure sensor sensing oscillations in pressure from a cuff attached to a user, and a microprocessor for determining blood pressure based on the oscillations in pressure sensed by the pressure sensor. A signal converter provided in the casing converts data from the pressure sensor into data for the microprocessor. A voice processor provided in the casing receives data from the microprocessor and generates a voice signal indicative of the blood pressure sensed by the pressure sensor.
Claims15
A portable blood pressure measuring device, comprising:
- a casing;
- a pressure sensor for sensing oscillations in pressure from a cuff, when the cuff is attached to a user;
- a microprocessor located within the casing for determining blood pressure based on the oscillations in pressure sensed by the pressure sensor;
- a signal converter located within the casing for operatively converting data from the pressure sensor into data for processing by the microprocessor;
- a voice processor located within the casing, receiving data from the microprocessor, and generating a voice signal indicative of blood pressure determined by the microprocessor;
- and
- memory means storing a user guide to blood pressure measurement, wherein the voice processor is controlled by the microprocessor to generate voice guidance, based on the user guide, instructing a user how to prepare for a blood pressure measurement, how to initiate a blood pressure measurement, and how to behave during a blood pressure measurement to obtain an accurate blood pressure measurement.
