Schematic diagram of the adaptable blood pressure system. For blood pressure assessments, participants sit upright on the health kiosk facing the screen and insert their left arm through the mechanical cuff, resting their elbow and forearm on the support. The adapted knuckle support provides four degrees freedom of movement for comfortable postural positioning. Upon initiation, a motorized gearhead wraps the mechanical cuff down to the user’s arm prior to bladder inflation. The cuff then operates like a normal automated blood pressure system, detecting blood pressure pulses as it deflates. Once the BP assessment is completed, the cuff fully deflates and expands, returning to the circumference of the starting position.
