Design and Implementation of Heart Beat Sensor using Arduino

Abstract

This project focuses on real-time monitoring of patients' heart rate.  The proposed method uses a heart rate sensor controlled by a microcontroller.  Heart rate readings are displayed on the LCD screen.  A heart rate monitor is used to record your heart rate over time and calculate your heart rate per minute. The main goal is continuous monitoring of the patient's heart rate, which should be available to the attending physician.   Healthcare workers in hospitals are responsible for patient healthcare. The patient's heart rate is continuously monitored and records are kept.  The main components of this system are the power supply, Atmega328 microcontroller, heart rate sensor and LCD display. This is very important as we can also use it for people with heart palpitations and to know the actual heartbeat.
