Honeywell’s Medical Board Mount Pressure Sensors - Available at TTI
Read more
Honeywell's sensing element design consists of four piezo resistors on a chemically etched silicon diaphragm. A pressure change will cause a strain in the diaphragm and the buried resistors. The resistor values will change in proportion to the stress applied, which produces an electrical output. Honeywell's sensors are performing in potential applications including dialysis equipment and oxygen gas distribution.

Blood pressure meter extends battery life to 700 uses
Read more
Microchip Technology has created a blood pressure meter, or sphygmomanometer, for measuring and monitoring blood pressure at home. The meter is used with an inflatable cuff for restricting blood flow and a pump to inflate the cuff. Digital blood pressure meters typically measure both systolic and diastolic pressures by an oscillometric detection method using a piezoelectric pressure sensor.
