Phoenix
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor Project
Sub-project: Cell Phone UI, Phoenix Project team
Project
Description
The
purpose of the Cell Phone UI project is to do some design and usability
analysis of a potential cell phone user interface to a blood pressure
monitor and the Sphygmochron.org web site.
Project Deliverables
The primary elements of the User Interface include
- a module to display a blood pressure reading from a blood pressure monitor,
- a module to control the blood pressure monitor (e.g., trigger the taking of a reading, set the date/time),
- a
module to offload data from the monitor, send it to the
Sphygmochron.org web site for analysis, and display the resulting
report.
Project Report
In
this first attempt to see what screens might look like, a iPhone
software development kit was used to produce images. It is just a
prototype of the images; it does not represent any real interface
between a cell phone and a blood pressure monitor.
First Images
A
data model for storing blood pressure and other data in the phone is
necessary. A first shot at describing a data model and some
comments are here:

Volunteers Are Needed
Would
you like to work on any part of this project? Envision a
prototype for a specific cell phone, propose a way to implement it, and
send
your suggestion
to Larry. Or start out by just asking questions.
