Abstract

Heart rate is a useful indicator of physiological adaptation and intensity of effort. Therefore, heart rate monitoring is an important component of cardiovascular fitness assessment and training programmes. The electrocardiogram (ECG) and Holter monitoring devices are accurate, but they are not appropriate for use in field settings due to cost, size and complexity of operation. This project is to design and develop of heart rate monitors by using an advanced PIC microcontroller based circuit design it provides an easy way to measure and monitor heartbeat rate. The instrument uses infrared sensor that using heartbeat sensor circuit which can easily be scan the fmger ends to detect the heartbeat by finger plythysmography technology. The unit is lightweight, easy to handle, extremely durable. The detachable Infra-Red sensor is designed to get the best results in all type of pulse rate measurement applications. The value of heart rate is measures and will be display in Visual Basic connected to the computer through serial cable.
