Blood pressure (BP) monitors intended for home health care were evaluated according to human-factors criteria, such as ease of operation, clarity of instruction booklet, perceived accuracy, and general preference. In the first phase, five types of BP monitors with various design characteristics were evaluated by pharmacy school students. A general preference was expressed for the electronic, digital BP monitors. In the second phase, four electronic, digital BP monitors were evaluated. Wide variations were observed in the perceptions of and preferences for these monitors. Approximately 64 to 70 per cent of the general preference for any of these instruments could be explained by perception of accuracy, instruction booklet preference, and ease of operation. There was no user preference for LED compared with LCD data readout. When compared with the method used by the evaluator's physician, all four electronic, digital BP monitors received satisfactory ratings.
针对家用医疗保健用途的血压监测仪，依据人为因素标准进行了评估，这些标准包括操作的简便性、说明书的清晰度、感知到的准确性以及总体偏好。在第一阶段，药学院学生对具有不同设计特点的五种血压监测仪进行了评估。学生们普遍偏好电子数字血压监测仪。在第二阶段，对四款电子数字血压监测仪进行了评估。结果发现，人们对这些监测仪的看法和偏好存在很大差异。这些仪器中任何一款的总体偏好约64%至70%可由对准确性的感知、对说明书的偏好以及操作的简便性来解释。与液晶显示屏（LCD）数据读数相比，用户对发光二极管（LED）数据读数并无偏好。与评估人员的医生所使用的方法相比，所有四款电子数字血压监测仪都获得了令人满意的评级。
