Week 8

The problem statement is to state the current problem that happen nowadays so I simplify the sentence with this:

Basically, digital blood pressure is uses in the Healthcare Centre and monitored
by experience person such as a doctor, nurse or medical assistant (MA). Therefore,
people have to check their blood pressure level at the nearby clinic or hospital. As a
result, this project will solve the problem with friendly features and affordable price. So,
by using this digital blood pressure monitor people can check by their own health
conditions, save more money and time.

This statement is more simple and have a good point. 

For the main objective, this project is to design a Portable Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with affordable price that can do by own self.

There are several methods in order to finish this project and achieve the objective: 

• The first methodology is based on the literature review about the components that will be used included the Microcontroller Unit (MCU), hand cuff, switch, LCD, pressure sensor, amplifier, 9V to +5V Voltage regulator, resistors, capacitors, LED, rubber ball and valve. Then, the blood pressure must design in portable, small and reduce the production cost. 
• The second method is Microcontroller programming. The program is difficult part to design because it will integrate with the hardware before show the result on the LCD. To ensure that the coding is proper function, simulation on C Compiler and Proteus 7.0 are used. 
• The last methods is hardware and software integration. The programming must be able to integrate with the Microcontroller circuit. This part is very important because the device can measure the systolic, diastolic and heart rate. Totally, this project can measure human blood pressure as accurate as the existing product in the market.
