Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most disturbing health issues nowadays as it can result in many dangerous diseases and even death. In order to keep the symptoms of hypertension under control, blood pressure must be regularly monitored and the results sent to a doctor who would then analyze them. Wireless blood pressure monitor is the best mean to measure one’s blood pressure systematically, because it is more compact and convenient to use than wired monitors.
The main aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to create a mobile application that automates the process of retrieving data from a wireless blood pressure monitor and sends it to the patient’s physician. For the purpose of testing and demonstrating full functionality of the application, a web application was developed that would receive the data sent from the blood pressure monitor and add it to a database.
It is hoped that the software suite created in the scope of this thesis will serve as a base of a similar solution that would be further developed by the state of Estonia. Such a solution has the potential to improve treatment of different diseases, and hence the well-being and the health of the Estonian nation.
