I am doing a project involving sound as a way to control a users Blood Pressure (BP). For this I need to get the data from a BP monitor into Max/MSP, does anyone have any knowledge of how to do this? I have thought about using an Arduino or Make board but I have little knowledge of circuitry or programming so if anyone could make these suggestions simpler or could suggest another way I would be very grateful. 

I also thought if I had a BP monitor with a USB output could I connect this to my mac and then use the [hi] object to retrieve the data, would this be possible?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Its more likely that your BP monitor will deliver something in a serial 

protokoll. There is a serial object to test that...
