I need to simulate taking a blood pressure - obtaining correct results
Does anyone already have something made that I could use?
At least hear the inflation of the cuff then see and hear the sounds as let air out to determine correct measurement?
Thanks
It will be more difficult to do the manual but I think Ned's principles remain the same.
I would use a dial to release the air from the cuff and a button to add air to the cuff. I would use the random numbers as Ned has done and play don't play the audio sound based off of the values and then get the user to type in the values they got check against the random numbers perhaps use a small range.
You can use states to simulate the effect of the mercury or needle rising and falling based off of the variable going up and down by either using a perpetual motion path or layer. What you cannot simulate (or it will be very difficult) is the visual bumping of the mercury or needle. If Ned cannot get you something I will have a look at it.
Great ideas.
