Abstract :
In this paper, we detail the design of a hypertension monitoring system via telecommunication and computer technologies and propose a method for theoretically analyzing its system accuracy. In the design of our system, we add a novel decision support unit, building on a diagnosis standard in medicine, into our monitoring system. The architecture of our system, including this decision support system, is detailed in this paper. In the analysis of our system accuracy, we theoretically evaluate the accuracy of a decision support system by linking the system accuracy with the distribution of sensors´ errors. Additionally, we verify our proposed analysis of system accuracy in this paper by comparing its result to that of Monte Carlo simulation.
