Final Stage Project

This document discusses a presentation on a heart rate monitor. It describes the motivation for creating an electronic heart rate monitor as a compact, easy-to-use device that allows people to regularly monitor their heart function. The methodology section explains that the hardware will use electronic devices and microprocessors, while the software may test circuits through simulation. The document then discusses the circuit design of the heart rate monitor and how it uses an IR LED and photodiode to detect pulse from reflected light, filters and compares the signal, and uses a microprocessor to interpret and display the heart rate. Finally, simulation software will be used to verify the functional behavior of the electronic circuit.

Presentation on

HEART RATE MONITOR

Submitted to
Kausar Ali,
(in fulfilment of final stage project, VIII SEM )

MOTIVATION

The Health care industry is responding to the increasing popularity and availability of
technological innovations, this electronic device will be able to detect heart rate at any time, as
it is relatively compact and easy to use people will be able to keep track of their cardio logical
functions at any time anywhere, it will be their own personal doctor. It will find use with heart
patients who need regular diagnosis to be alert for proper and professional medical attention.

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
3.

Emulation : Emulator is a computer software which behaves like another computer or a


device, heart rate monitor may be emulated using any such program.

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

Let us break the Circuit into several parts for comprehension.

 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.

HARDWARE

Let us break the Circuit into several parts for comprehension.

 Filtering and Comparator : As human heart rate is usually between 50-250 beats per minute,
so we design a filter of cut-off frequency of about 250/60 Hz, here we have used a second order
LPF, followed by a comparator which outputs a bitstream of frequency of either 1’s or 0’s
equivalent to heart rate.

HARDWARE

Let us break the Circuit into several parts for comprehension.

 Microprocessor, signal interpretation and LCD display : The bit stream is then interperated
to produce an equivalent heart rate, this is done by coding microprocessor 8051 as a counter
and produce a serial output of final count and input to 16x2 LCD display.

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.
