Abstract

Heart rate is a significant data for human to predict their health condition. Through the advancement of technology, people are able to monitor their own heart rate through ECG machine and some other medical devices. Yet, these devices need to take some time to measure the heart rate of user. Some devices are also hard to bring along as of their large size and of their weight. Hence, this project will focus on a long-term monitoring for elderly patients who are allowed to stay at their home under the companion of their family member or a private nurse and it is easy to bring along. This project utilise the simplicity of Arduino UNO and a plug and play heart rate sensor for Arduino as the backbone of this project. As for easy monitoring, Bluetooth will be used as a medium to transmit the data from Arduino so making user more easy to monitor the heart rate through their smartphone. As a result, user will be able to monitor heart rate through smartphone by installing Bluetooth Terminal in their smartphone and connect to the Bluetooth module used in this project. The heart rate shown will be in a continuous form where the heart rate of user will be detected in every second.
