Abstract

A method for testing accuracy of blood pressure measurement in a blood pressure monitoring apparatus includes calculating a difference between measured blood pressures of a user measured at two or more measurement points, calculating a difference between hydrostatic pressures of blood estimated at the two or more measurement points, and calculating an error of the measured blood pressures.
