Taking the Blood Pressure (BP) with a traditional sphygmomanometer requires a trained user. In developed countries, patients who need to monitor their BP at home usually acquire an electronic BP device with an automatic inflate/deflate cycle that determines the BP through the oscillometric method. For patients in resource constrained regions automated BP measurement devices are scarce because supply channels are limited and relative costs are high. Consequently, routine screening for and monitoring of hypertension is not common place. In this project we aim to offer an alternative strategy to measure BP and Heart Rate (HR) in developing countries. Given that mobile phones are becoming increasingly available and affordable in these regions, we designed a system that comprises low-cost peripherals with minimal electronics, offloading the main processing to the phone. A simple pressure sensor passes information to the mobile phone and the oscillometric method is used to determine BP and HR. Data are then transmitted to a central medical record to reduce errors in time stamping and information loss. No doubt every person wants to be healthy in order to move well. One of the health conditions to note is to keep blood pressure. many people sick one cause is high blood pressure. there are two methods of measuring blood pressure ie invasive and non-invasive. using the oscillometric method the measurement can be performed automatically, with the help of a piezoresistive pressure sensor connected to arduino mega 2560. so that the measurement data in the form of name, age, and blood pressure can be stored on the SD card that can be read again if needed. In this research the difference between the systolic or diastolic values of blood pressure reading with analog devices compared with automatic blood pressure reading tool and obtained that the average difference of 3,265 mmHg for systolic value and 6,165 mmHg for diastolic. Then this difference is used in the calibration process so that the result of automatic blood pressure reading tool is better. The result of calibration reading tool has 99.47% - 99.82% accuracy
