Abstract

This paper deals with the diagnosis and analysis of heart rate using Pulse sensor. Heart rate of a human body can be measured by considering the change of blood volume in fingertip with the help of microcontroller based methods. This method detects the volume change of blood by an optical sensor based on infrared technology. The main objective of this pulse sensor is to use Optical methodology to detect the blood flow through the index finger and offer the advantage of portability. The principle of Pulse sensor is that certain amount of light energy from infrared will be absorbed by blood cells and the remaining amount of light will be transmitted to the photodiode. Based on the amount of light transmitted, the flow of blood can be calculated, which is directly related to pulse rate. Advance Rise Machines (ARM) Microcontroller (LPC2148) is programmed to count the pulse and to display the heart rate digitally on an LCD. Peak detection algorithm plays an important role in diagnosing heart related diseases by comparing the pulse signal and the ECG signal using VB.NET tool.
