Abstract
This paper presents the design and developing of a device which uses electrocardiogram signal obtained from electrical potential integrated circuit sensors and the photoplethysmogram signal from the fingers to obtain beat-to-beat systolic and diastolic blood pressures along with the heart rate. The system comprises the sensors and needed electronic circuits to obtain the ECG-derived features. The re-useable dry ECG and optical sensors are used to reduce cost and make it simple and convenience to use. The measured results are displayed locally, sent to the internet via available wifi, and stored in the cloud as a monitoring system. This low-cost, small size, and low power usage device can be easily extended to monitor other cardiac features such as premature ventricular contraction and venous pulsations.
