Blood Pressure
This is the centre piece of the suite of interactive exhibits designed for the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow. The aim of the exhibit is to give the user a fuller appreciation of how hard their heart works and to demonstrate how this load is significantly increased with raised blood pressure.

The exhibit stands at a height of 3m and gives the user 5 different pressures that they can pump. Moving up from the lowest pressure the user notices that it gets increasingly difficult to pump the 'blood'.

With legs tiring quickly on this exhibit, it makes people think about the work that their heart has to do... hopefully it will have some lasting effect on people in terms of their lifestyle as well as increasing understanding about all too common 'blood pressure' problems.
