[Development of a portable ECG and blood pressure monitor based on personal digital assistant (PDA)].
OBJECTIVE
To develop a portable multifunctional electrocardiograph (ECG) and blood pressure monitor with its convenience to use.


METHODS
It consisted of the electrocardiograph and blood pressure monitor module, microprocessor module and a personal digital assistant (PDA), to implement the functions of ECG/blood pressure signal automatic monitoring and remote data transferring to the hospital.


RESULTS
Under the control of the microprocessor, the monitor module can achieve the ECG signal, the blood pressure signal and transmit the data to the PDA. The program runs in PDA, integrating the capabilities of data waveform browsing and remote data transfering.


CONCLUSIONS
The monitor meets the design requirements and has a good future for application.
