This study includes the development of an application for a pressure sensor to obtain pressure pulse oscillation. Forty-five measurements from fifteen subjects (8 males and 7 females) were used for analysis. Correlation coefficients between the traditional auscultatory method and oscillometric method using newly developed algorithm were 0.9651 and 0.9136 for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, with the standard deviations of 1.42 and 1.73 mmHg, respectively. The results showed that the newly developed algorithm for oscillometirc method provide accurate blood pressure values. Future study will include the development of a device and the evaluation based on the international standsard, AAMI (association for the advancement of medical instrumentation) and BHS (british hypertension society).
