The blood pressure monitoring system includes a measurement site, a tube, and a host device. The tube is coupled between the measurement site of the patient and the digital pressure transducer and contains a fluid. The digital pressure transducer comprises: an analog pressure transducer to measure an analog pressure of a fluid pressure from the fluid of the tube from the measurement site; an ADC to convert the analog pressure measurement to a digital pressure measurement; an interface to connect to the host device; and a processor configured to: perform authentication with the host device; convert the digital pressure measurement to a digital blood pressure measurement for the patient; and transmit the digital blood pressure measurement of the patient to the host device.
