Conclusion
This design will result a
new development of medical devices using Arduino Microcontroller. The
development on the portable blood pressure monitor will improve the user
experience based on the device performances and reliability. The
proposed techniques will be useful to determine some parameters of the
portable blood pressure measurement monitor system.

Problem Encountered
In the project progress, the problem I encounter was the understanding the criteria needed to be put in the project design. There have a lot of portable blood pressure with the different type of design and the microcontroller used in system. By doing some research, I have found that the accuracy and performances of the portable blood pressure monitor is important to meet the requirement measurement value because it will used to measure the blood pressure and heart rate of the patient respectively.

Week 12
In this week, I have make a research about the benefits and contribution.
If review back to objective, this project were to introduce the Arduino Microcontroller technology. The development of this technology is important because the application that use in Arduino Microcontroller is not difficult if compare to the other microcontroller programmed. This research study will involve more on the reducing the cost of project and simply provide much more easier coding program to the making of this medical device.
The contribution of this development: 1. The Arduino is open-source program and the coding is based on C or C++ language. 2. The major component use is more prefer to hardware follow software. 3. Performing a cost-benefit analysis study - cost is lower if compared to the cost in various industries or sectors. 4. The system development capability can be estimated and analyze. 5. Can improves the development of the system performances and sensitivity.
