This is my 4th blog for the Summer of Sensors Design Challenge. In this blog I will cover the thing I talked about in my first blog, trying to measure blood pressure using a pressure sensor. I will go through some ups and down trying to get validen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-sensors-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/designing-a-small-health-monitoring-system-for-the-elderly---hms-blog-4---measuring-blood-pressureTue, 21 Mar 2023 11:58:49 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:512cb5af-83af-4201-bccb-ef23741bceb2vikrambharath2<p>Hi, great explanation and implementation. I am trying to build the project without the air pump and I am using HX710B air pressure sensor with 0 to 40 KPa but the minimum value I am reading is somewhere in the high 90mmhg (like 95mmhg) and the maximum is 180mmhg. i am using the same library. i have tested multiple sensors but the minimum value is same...i cannot check the diastole value if the minimum value my sensor reads is 90.please help</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=24770&AppID=381&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-sensors-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/designing-a-small-health-monitoring-system-for-the-elderly---hms-blog-4---measuring-blood-pressureMon, 14 Nov 2022 23:51:15 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:512cb5af-83af-4201-bccb-ef23741bceb2genebren1<p>Very interesting data. It is hard to tell from the data, but as the pressure is dropping it seems that the heartbeat artifact of the waveform is decreasing also. Is it possible that amplitude of the heartbeat signal can be used to find the Systolic and Diastolic points?</p> <p>Good luck as you continue to move forward!</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=24770&AppID=381&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-sensors-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/designing-a-small-health-monitoring-system-for-the-elderly---hms-blog-4---measuring-blood-pressureMon, 14 Nov 2022 01:12:54 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:512cb5af-83af-4201-bccb-ef23741bceb2saadtiwana_int1<p>Interesting blog post, thanks for sharing. Btw, I am curious what software/tools you used to draw those nice illustrations, for example under the heading &quot;<span>6.&nbsp;Measuring blood pressure</span>&quot;?</p> <p>- Saad</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=24770&AppID=381&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
