Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The chief parameter we will be studying is the difference in average systolic<br /><br>blood pressure (in mmHg), defined as the mean systolic blood pressure measured<br /><br>with the self-initiated method compared to the mean systolic blood pressure<br /><br>measured with the fully-automated method. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary parameters we will study are:<br /><br>- The difference in average diastolic blood pressure (in mmHg), defined as the<br /><br>mean diastolic blood pressure measured with the self-initiated method compared<br /><br>to the mean diastolic blood pressure measured with the fully-automated method;<br /><br>- The difference in average heartrate (in beats/minute).</p><br>
