Application Development for Blood Pressure Meter and First Aid Alert

Hypertension affects one out of every four adults in Brazil, mostly older people who, according to research, do not have comprehensive knowledge of the disease, its symptoms and how to identify them in someone, thus causing arterial damage throughout the body. consequently it can generate strokes. Two methods were used to fetch data; the amount that was based on Google polls; and the qualitative through bibliographical research and articles on blood pressure in Brazil. Using these methods, a prototype alert software was developed that can work in conjunction with existing technologies such as SMARTBANDS and SMARTWATCH, which quickly and conveniently measure pressure from their users by collecting data and sending it to the system. The data collected through the sphygmomanometer are sent to the arduino that together with the HC-05 communicates with the system, meeting the expectations. The communication of the user application with the monitor worked correctly. Having collected the data through forms, a software and a prototype that could be used together with other technologies were elaborated to propose to smart watch manufacturers the implementation of the alert software, for the improvement of the existing technologies.
