  • Abstract
    At present situation the mortality rate has been increased due to the rise in blood pressure. BP is the parameter which doesn´t abide by a single range, but it depends upon the factors like age, family history, smoking, alcohol intake, pregnancy. Factors like smoking and intake of alcohol do have controllable aspects, which helps in providing a focus for patients looking to minimize their chances of developing hypertension. The importance behind this work is the development of an intelligent, accurate diagnosis of hyper and hypo blood pressure. Intelligent system used here is the fuzzy system which takes age, gender, body mass index, smoking habit, alcohol intake, pregnancy condition, family history as linguistic variables and diagnoses whether the person is having hyper and hypo tension. Apart from diagnosing, this system acts as a risk analyzer, i.e. it gives the risk factor of the subject proned to get BP in future. So by adapting a change in the life style the risk values of getting the blood pressure can be reduced. The unique feature of this system is that an individual can have self assessment of his bp condition without doctor in the nearby geological area. The analyzation of blood pressure value is done by fuzzy system designer available in LabVIEW.
