 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Satisfaction that accompanies that the successful completion of any

task would be incomplete without the mention of people whose ceaseless co-
operation made it possible, whose constant guidance and encouragement
crown all efforts with success.

I extremely thankful to my guide Ms. T KALPANA, Asst.Professor,

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, for his/her
excellent guidance, timely and valuable suggestions and encouragement that
enabled the success of the mini project.

I deeply indebted to our Head of Department Dr. Y. Amar Babu, who

modeled us both technically and morally for achieving greater success in life.

I express my sincere thanks to Dean of Academics, Dr.E.V.Krishna Rao

for his timely advice and motivation during the course of mini project.

I humbly express my thanks to our Principal Dr. K. Appa Rao for

extending his support and for providing us with an environment to complete
our mini project successfully.

I would like to thank management for providing excellent infrastructure

and learning environment to carry out the mini project work in the campus.

I would like to thank all the teaching and non-teaching staff members of
Electronics and communication Engineering, who have extended their full co-
operation during the course of my mini project.

I would like to express my heart full thanks to our parents for their
unflinching support and constant encouragement throughout the period of my
mini project work for making it a successful one.

I thank all my friends who helped me sharing knowledge and by

providing material to complete the mini project in time.

 ABSTRACT

Monitoring heart rate is very important for athletes, patients as it

determines the condition of the heart (just heart rate). There are many ways to
measure heart rate and the most precise one is using an Electrocardiography.
But the more easy way to monitor the heart rate is to use a Heartbeat Sensor. The
heartbeat is measured in beats per minute or bpm, which indicates the number of
times the heart is contracting or expanding in a minute. The principle behind the
working of the Heartbeat Sensor is Photoplethysmograph. According to this
principle, the changes in the volume of blood in an organ is measured by the
changes in the intensity of the light passing through that organ.The source of
light in a heartbeat sensor would be an IR LED and the detector would be any
Photo Detector like a Photo Diode, an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) or a Photo
Transistor. Heartbeat Sensors are available in Wrist Watches (Smart Watches),
Smart Phones, chest straps. Place any finger (except the Thumb) in the sensor
clip and push the switch (button). Based on the data from the sensor, Arduino
calculates the heart rate and displays the heartbeat in bpm
