Abstract

Due to the busy schedule of every human being in today's world, consciousness towards one's health has become quite alarming. A person suffering from any chronic disease needs a gradual, regular and close monitoring to recover from the disease or to be under control. Because of heavy work pressure, anxiety, change of weather and location or due to some other causes, the effect of the diseases can turn up into an appalling state. Two vital aspects of human diseases are blood pressure (hypertension) and blood sugar imbalance. Hypertension is one of the complications of prolonged untreated diabetes. Other organs like kidney, eye and peripheral nerves are also involved. The various gradations of hypertension and diabetes are required to understand for the progression of the disease and to make plan for the treatment. So these two aspects are considered in this article. The idea is to develop a logic, which could be incorporated in a pocket friendly device in future that would generate an alarm whenever there is imbalance in blood sugar or blood pressure levels. The concept of the fuzzy inference rule and first-order logic is implemented to develop this study.
