Inside a Blood Pressure Monitor: From Cuff to Algorithm
Blood pressure monitors are everywhere — at home, in clinics, in pharmacies. But how do they actually work? What happens in the moment the cuff tightens around your arm and numbers appear on the screen?
In this workshop, you’ll look inside these devices — from physical measurement and sensors to the algorithms that turn signals into results. You’ll learn not only how but also why these devices work, and get acquainted with a research-driven approach to medical technology.
About This Workshop
From Cuff to Algorithm
You'll learn what blood pressure is and how it is measured traditionally. Then you'll discover how digital monitors capture and process data using sensors and algorithms. You'll get a clear picture of the journey from physical measurement to the numerical results on the screen.Inside the Open-Source Device
Miloš Rašić, a master's graduate in electrical engineering with a focus on robotics and biotechnology, will present his device developed as part of his master's research. You'll learn how the device simultaneously collects multiple signals — cuff pressure, ECG, PPG, and stethoscope audio — and how this data is used for algorithm testing and analysis.Mechanics, Electronics, and Software
Take a closer look at the design of Miloš's device and see how the mechanical, electronic, and software components are interconnected. You'll see how all the parts work together to enable accurate measurements and flexibility in research — and how an interdisciplinary approach opens up new possibilities in medical technology.Who Is This Workshop For?
The workshop is open to everyone who wants a hands-on insight into modern medical technology. It's ideal for anyone curious about how the devices we use every day are built and who wants to understand the technology behind measurement.About the Instructor
The workshop is led by Miloš Rašić, a master's graduate in electrical engineering and computer science. With a focus on robotics and biotech, Miloš bridges the worlds of hardware and software to bring participants closer to the process of developing advanced technological products. Through extensive experience with industrial drones, robotic systems, and telemedicine, he demonstrates how engineering theory translates into functional innovations and successful startup projects.Have a question?
