Advanced indirect method for measuring blood pressure

Presently existing blood pressure meters require trained operator otherwise do not assure accurate measurement. An easy-to-use and accurate device would help the early detection of hypertonia as well as self-monitoring at home. This latter would mean an effective aid for the general practitioner to monitor the patient; providing a feedback for treatment and medication. The paper presents the results of the research work having been carried out for an indirect blood pressure measurement procedure in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Measurement and Information Systems, Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The procedure improves the classical oscillometric algorithm and identifies improperly placed cuff. It was incorporated into eight home health monitoring devices that were used for three months by patients with cardiovascular diseases. More than 1000 recordings of patients and more than 500 of healthy control subjects have been analyzed. The presented algorithm has been va lidated by means of a non-invasive blood pressure meter tester. The bulk of the 100 tester records we have made simulates some kind of artifact or cardiovascular disease

The Influence Of A Botanical Garden Experience on Human Health

Master of ScienceDepartment of Horticulture, Forestry, and Recreation ResourcesPhysiological and psychological measurements of 127 visitors to a botanical garden were collected to determine the influence of a garden environment. Physiological measurements were recorded before and after participants visited the gardens. A pre-visit survey identified emotional expectations of the garden visit. Post-visit surveys ascertained participants' emotional impressions. Length of visit, ambient air temperature, and participants' health related data were recorded. Participants' average systolic blood pressure measurements decreased significantly on three of the four days studied. Participants' mood state before and after visiting the gardens were significantly influenced. Self-reports of participants as well as physiological measurements indicate both physiological and psychological benefits of visiting a botanical garden
