I am not sure I understand all of your requirements. However, you may 
want to consider organizing your properties in a hierarchy of 
properties. So, for example, you may have a "vital_property" whose 
children are systolic_BP, diastolic_BP, weight, pulse, and height 
subproperties.

On the other hand, you may want to reconsider these as object 
properties, whose values are physical quantities consisting of units and 
numbers.

With best regards,
