There are two methods in blood pressure measurement ; Invasive methode and Non-invasive method. The Invasive methode can get the 띠cod pressure measurement but, patient feel uncomfortable. So Non-invasive methode used generally. The Oscillometric method is typical Non-Invasive method. This method is commonly used to measure BP in electric sphygmomanometer and has various algorithm. In this paper it is described about a algorithm, it controls, determinates the cuff pressure, and fillers the measured BP data. This system can interface with PC(personal computer) by RS-232 and save the measured data in PC. This system deflates the cuff pressure by Solenoid valve. The main algorithm are oscillometric and maximum amplitude algorithm(MAA). MAA has various measured oscillation, it depends on patient's age, height, weight and arm circumference size. In this paper proposed system can measure Systolic BP, Diastolic BP, and Mean BP using Interpolation, Auto Reinflation algorithm.
