BloodPressure

On this page

A blood pressure reading: 120/80 mmHg.

Use it for a person's reading. For any other pressure, use Pressure.

Shape

Field Type Required?
systolic Pressure Yes
diastolic Pressure Yes

Its parts keep these rules, and a value that breaks one fails with the rule's name:

  • diastolic_below_systolic: diastolic < systolic

Example

example
BloodPressure {    systolic: 120mmHg    diastolic: 80mmHg}

Good to know

  • diastolic must be below systolic.
  • == tells you whether two are the same. < and list.sort_by don't take it, so sort by one of its parts instead.
  • A field that holds one counts as personal data (health), so you don't mark it yourself.

In JSON

An object of its parts, in a request, a response or json.write:

json
{"systolic":{"value":"15998.686","unit":"Pa"},"diastolic":{"value":"10665.791","unit":"Pa"}}{"systolic":{"value":"19331.746","unit":"Pa"},"diastolic":{"value":"12265.66","unit":"Pa"}}{"systolic":{"value":"16000","unit":"Pa"},"diastolic":{"value":"10700","unit":"Pa"}}

Details

Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations

BloodPressure is in the group Health, and has been in Jadpo since 0.1.0.

Text form

It has no single text form, so text.from and text.parse don't take it.

How it is stored

It is stored in 2 columns, each named for the field, _ and its suffix. This is {"systolic":{"value":"19331.746","unit":"Pa"},"diastolic":{"value":"12265.66","unit":"Pa"}}:

Column Type Holds
<field>_systolic numeric(38, 3) 19331.746
<field>_diastolic numeric(38, 3) 12265.66

How it is shown to people

text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale. A call may also give unit:.

With locale: Locale.en_gb:

Value Shown
{"systolic":{"value":"120","unit":"mmHg"},"diastolic":{"value":"80","unit":"mmHg"}} 120/80 mmHg
{"systolic":{"value":"145","unit":"mmHg"},"diastolic":{"value":"92","unit":"mmHg"}} 145/92 mmHg
{"systolic":{"value":"16","unit":"kPa"},"diastolic":{"value":"10.7","unit":"kPa"}} 120/80 mmHg

Operations

It also takes text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
