The purpose of this thesis is: to analyze additional capabilities of ultrasound that are not involved in today’s life; to confirm safety of conducting relevant measurements using high-frequency acoustic vibrations.
The objects of study are: an automated human blood pressure monitoring system and the human body.
For understanding possible risks and to achieve goals mentioned above there were committed several operations which includes analyzation of scientific material and confirmation of possibility to produce those operations according to international or national standards. During this work also the scheme of operation of a blood pressure measuring device was developed, which was assessed for manufacturability.
The possibilities of ultrasonic waves for maintaining up-to-date information on systolic and diastolic blood pressure were analyzed, and risks for operator of the device for measuring blood pressure using this method or other ultrasonic method were identified.
As a result of the work, an automated blood pressure measurement system was successfully designed, recommendations and standards for conducting this type of control were outlined, the key features of the research environment were identified, and existing methods for conducting a similar procedure were identified.
The ways of further development of the project include the development of such systems in everyday monitoring devices on smartwatches and fitness bracelets; increasing the efficiency of the system, in particular through the usage of modern technologies for component production and specialized production of these components for the system.
