METHODOLOGY
HARDWARE : Electronic Devices and Microprocessors will constitute the
hardware of the Heart rate monitor. Given below is the circuit of Heart Rate
Monitor.

METHODOLOGY
SOFTWARE : Today before actually making a circuit , it may actually be
tested using computers, this is called simulation. The software uses
mathematical modelling of the actual circuit. In the age of Information very
accurate and precise model of circuits may be built which also incorporates
the noise present in actual environment. Most common software for this are:
1. Proteus
2. Easy ADA

What is Heart rate and how can we measure
it
Heart rate is measured in beats/minute i.e. The total number of times the
heart contracted in one minute. Given Below is structure of Heart

What is Heart rate and how can we measure
it
When Heart contracts, the oxygenated blood present in the left Atrium is
squirted into Aorta and then into Arteries, thus pulses of blood are flowing
in our circulatory system.
We can now measure blood pulse rate which is equal to Heart rate, we will
use the principle of Reflection for this. When focus IF rays on one of the
Arteries, the intensity of the reflected wave if proportional to the amount of
blood in the artery at that point and at that time, hence the reflected wave is
also an Pulse wave.

HARDWARE
IR LED and Photodiode : In this stage of the circuit, the IR LED transmits
the IR signal of constant Intensity, the Photodiode, senses the reflected wave
from the finger. The signal yet received is a noisy one and we only need the
lower frequency spectrum for our analysis.

SIMULATION
This step of the project development requires computer simulation of the electronic
circuit to verify its functional behaviour. We will use Proteus of Simulation and Keil for
Microprocessor coding.
