NEVER TOO LATE TO CHECK YOUR HEART
Hypertension, which many people know about but only a few would realize, occurs when blood exerts excessive force against the blood vessel walls and can lead to life-threatening conditions, including heart disease and stroke.
Most blood pressure monitor devices are expensive for families in developping countries to afford in their life. And, in 2012 Lancet report, 639 millions patients in developping countries have hypertension. In order to cover needed population, Accumeter is designed to be cost and functionality efficient.
The cost of the device is minimized by using affordable and widely distributed components such as Arduino Uno and common sized cuff with manul pump.
Android application is designed to support blood pressure reading transfer, storage, and name editing.
Blood pressure measurments stored on mobile phone could be exported with email.
