Smart Blood Pressure Monitor

Smart Blood Pressure Monitor
It should be noted that this device is not designed for clinical applications, however, it is a fun way to learn about pressure sensors and Arduino while creating a functional device applicable to the real world!
Pressure, also called hypertension, is deadly it can lead to heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure.

Parts used for this project:
1.Arduino Uno

2.Blood Pressure Sensor
