Heartbeat monitoring and voice based alerting system for high and low heart rate

Health related issues and parameters are of utmost importance to man, and is essential to his existence and influence and thus he has sought for an improved system that would be able to capture and monitor the changes in health parameters irrespective of time and location so as to provide for measures that will forestall abnormalities and cater for emergencies.This work presents a system that is capable of providing real time remote monitoring of the heartbeat with improvements of an alarm. This project aims at the design and implementation of a low cost but efficient and flexible heartbeat monitoring and alert system using Voice Module. It is designed in such a way that the heartbeat/pulse rate is sensed and measured by the sensors which sends the signals to the control unit for proper processing and determination of the heartbeat rate which is displayed on an LCD, it then proceeds to alert by an voice if and only if the threshold value of the heartbeat rate is maximally exceeded. Thus this system proposes a continuous, real time, remote, safe and accurate monitoring of the heartbeat rate and helps in patient’s diagnosis and early and preventive treatment of cardiovascular ailments.
