Summary of Digital blood pressure meter design using PIC microcontroller
This application note from Microchip presents a reference design for a non-invasive digital blood pressure meter utilizing the PIC24FJ128GC010 microcontroller and MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier. The meter uses oscillometric detection to measure systolic and diastolic pressures and employs the Measurement While Inflating (MWI) principle, which shortens measurement time and enhances user comfort by reducing cuff pressure duration.
Parts used in the Digital blood pressure meter design:
- PIC24FJ128GC010 microcontroller
- MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier
This Application Note from Microchip provides a reference design for building a non-invasive blood pressure meter using the PIC24FJ128GC010 microcontroller and MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier.
A digital blood pressure meter measures systolic and diastolic pressures by oscillometric detection. Microchip’s digital blood pressure meter demo can measure blood pressure and pulse rate during inflation. The Measurement While Inflating (MWI) principle reduces overall measuring time, which in turn reduces discomfort caused by the pressure in the cuff.
