In this study a model for estimating the blood pressure of humans was developed in relation to a person’s age, weight, pulse rate and body temperature parameters. The model was optimized to determine the nature of the extreme value of the Blood Pressure model and whether humans could have a maximum or minimum value for blood pressure. However, the optimization result showed that there is no specific human blood pressure value that could be called a maximum or minimum. Furthermore, the model’s resulting data was correlated with the measured/gathered data and the outcome of the correlation analysis showed a very high correlation of about 80% between the two results which therefore recommends as a standard measure for human’s Blood pressure.
