Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels and is one of the principal vital signs. High blood pressure is a common risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and aneurysms, so diagnosing and monitoring it are critically important. Blood pressure can change from minute to minute, so continuous monitoring offers a much broader picture of cardiovascular health. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. We get the data from the blood pressure sensor and heart beat sensor and given to the microcontroller .The microcontroller send the data to the mobile phone through the wireless communication. Here we are using Bluetooth technology for wireless data transfer. We can monitor the sensor value whenever the patient needs. If any abnormality occurs, then it will send an email to a person may be the doctor or any relative. People can easily measure the blood pressure value. Therefore it is more efficient for the patient under low cost.
