Final report and team photo for Project 08 of ME450, Fall 2009 semester.Preeclampsia, a disorder that occurs during pregnancy and during the post-partum period, is characterized by high blood pressure. The goal of this project is to design a low-tech, low-cost, threshold-based blood pressure device for use by community health care workers in resource-limited settings.Kathleen Sienko (Mechanical Engineering, U of M); Cosmas Van De Ven, Frank Anderson (Obstetrics & Gynecology, U of M)http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/86202/1/ME450 Fall2009 Final Report - Project 08 - Low-Tech, Low-Cost Blood Pressure Measurement Device.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/86202/2/ME450 Fall2009 Team Photo - Project 08 - Low-Tech, Low-Cost Blood Pressure Measurement Device.jp
