Project Description
The Project includes the hardware and software development necessary to upgrade an existing product line. Various areas of development are involved. Windows based programs are used to download/upload information for the blood pressure monitoring unit. This unit contains application specific software residing on a Texas Instruments TMS320C DSP microprocessor. The microprocessor is interfaced to blood pressure sensors residing with the patient. Since the project was short term (approximately two months), a particular challenge was to get “up to speed” as soon as possible.
