Abstract
The blood pressure detecting device includes a blood pressure meter, a physiological detector, and a processing unit. The processing unit stores an equation to convert the value of the physiological data to the corresponding blood pressure value. To determine the equation during calibration, the patient's physiological data is measured several times in the course of normal activities in order to obtain an actual blood pressure value for each patient. To determine the equation during measurement mode, the patient measures the physiological data value as above, and then a customized equation stored in memory will convert the physiological value to the patient's blood pressure value. Therefore, the more calibration data are collected for an individual patient, the more accurate the equation will be made, and thus a more accurate measurement will be made.
