Abstract

Abstract— The heart rate data collected by analogue sensors is converted to digital and sent to the concerned mobile phone through GSM module. This proposal aims to use a wireless network to continuously monitor a cardiac patient. ECG equipment are commonly used to monitor the condition of heart patients, however because of their complexity, their output cannot be communicated. As a result, a simple method known as the 'Plethysmograph' is described here to measure the pulse rate. Blood is discharged from the ventricles when the heart muscle contracts, and a pulse of pressure is delivered through the circulatory system of the human body. This pressure pulse can be felt at the tips of the fingers: blood flow can be tracked with IR sensors for this purpose. The setup is such that infrared light emitted by an IR led passes through the finger tip, and the IR energy transmitted through the finger is measured using an infrared sensor at the other end. The IR energy that is given through the blood intensity of the finger will vary slightly depending on the blood flow through the tip. These minute changes are recognised and proportionate digital pulses are created via op-amp because both sensors are positioned in a clip parallel to each other. The microcontroller unit is set up to count and display the pulses based on these signals. The LCD is used in the display part, and the same data is sent to all of the computer processor's concern cellphone number.When the system counts and displays the pulse rate per minute, if it is higher or lower than the average value, an alert is activated automatically, and data is sent to the concerned mobile phone via the GSM module.
