An Internet-based blood pressure monitoring system demonstrated low measurement error compared to a standard digital sphygmomanometer, suggesting potential for remote blood pressure assessment.

Low measurement error supports remote BP monitoring feasibility; leaves open larger validation before clinical adoption.
We developed a personal blood pressure monitoring system for patients with hypertension or hypotension. The system can be used to measure a patient's blood pressure at home and to transmit the data automatically to a hospital database via the Internet. The accuracy of blood pressure readings using the system was assessed by comparison with readings from a standard digital sphygmomanometer in four subjects. The measurement error for the systolic readings was 1.7-2.7% and for the diastolic readings 2.7-3.2%. The system therefore appears to be a promising means of assessing blood pressure remotely.
