Blood Pressure Education Pumps
Researchers at Purdue University have developed an educational tool to teach patients about high blood pressure through a visual demonstration. This system represents the circulatory system and consists of a pump, which is difficult to operate by the patient, and tubing. It demonstrates the need for the heart to work harder to circulate blood in individuals with high blood pressure, and it offers a hands-on visual demonstration that is easy to operate, inexpensive, does not require the internet or electricity, and allows patients to visualize the effects of high blood pressure. This system can help patients understand the risks of high blood pressure and motivate adherence to preventative health and medication.
