Heart rate monitor integrated with the computer
Description
A computer-controlled heart rate monitor assembled on an Arduino UNO board is presented, which can be used to calculate the approximate value of the heart rate and visualize a live cardiogram.
After placing your finger on the sensor, each pulse is followed by a small sound. In a few seconds, the user can read his own pulse (BPM) on the screen.
Advantages and deficiencies:
o It is easy to use.
o The device is easy to make and manage, both technically and software.
o Ideal for working with PULSE for learning purposes and for prototyping future PULSE related equipment.
o Low price.
o In pulse measurement, the sensor has an error, thus, the medical use of the presented device is not acceptable.
o Has minor technical glitches that sometimes make it difficult to take a pulse in a short amount of time.
