WEARABLE HEART RATE MONITOR
Abstract
Abstract
Recent advances in wireless technologies and sensor networks have led to innovative healthcare solutions, enabling the continuous monitoring of vital parameters through wearable biomedical sensors. This cutting-edge technology empowers patients to remain mobile while receiving uninterrupted monitoring, thereby improving healthcare services.
One promising device is the Wearable ECG, designed to monitor a patient's heart activity at any time and location without requiring hospital visits or appointments with cardiologists. The device detects and alerts users to any abnormalities in their heart rate or rhythm, facilitating timely intervention and the management of cardiovascular diseases, and potentially even preventing heart attacks.
The Wearable Heart Rate Monitor comprises an ECG receiver sensor node that detects and records the heart's electrical signals. This information is then wirelessly transmitted to the user and visualized using an LED. The LED displays different colours, representing varying levels of heart activity, with green indicating normal, blue representing moderate values, and red indicating higher values.
A Wearable Heart Rate Monitor combined with wireless technologies and sensor networks, represents significant advancements in healthcare, providing patients with real-time monitoring capabilities that enable timely intervention and improved disease management. This innovative solution has the potential to revolutionize the approach to cardiovascular health, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and improved quality of life.

Introduction
In recent years, the field of healthcare has witnessed significant advancements in wireless technologies and sensor networks. These innovative solutions have led to the development of wearable biomedical sensors that allow for the continuous monitoring of vital parameters, empowering patients to receive uninterrupted monitoring while remaining mobile.
Among the promising devices is the Wearable Heart Rate Monitor, a cutting-edge technology that enables patients to monitor their heart activity at any time and location, without requiring hospital visits or appointments with cardiologists. This device detects and alerts users to any abnormalities in their heart rate or rhythm, facilitating timely intervention and management of cardiovascular diseases, and potentially even preventing heart attacks.
The Wearable Heart Rate Monitor, comprising an ECG receiver sensor node that wirelessly transmits information about the heart's electrical signals to the user, is visualized using an LED. When combined with wireless technologies and sensor networks, these devices represent significant advancements in healthcare, providing patients with real-time monitoring capabilities that enable timely intervention and improved disease management. It explores the potential of these wearable biomedical sensors to revolutionize the approach to cardiovascular health, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and improved quality of life.
Connect the USB cable to the power bank to ensure a stable power source for the Wearable heart rate monitor device. Attach the ECG electrodes to the ECG module. Place the green module near the right ankle and position the yellow electrode on the left arm, while the red electrode goes on the right arm. This specific electrode placement enables accurate measurement and signals acquisition from the heart. Once the setup is complete, observe the ECG heart rate monitor device. If a blinking red light appears, the device is properly connected to the power bank via the USB cable and receiving power. The ECG receiver sensor node is responsible for detecting the ECG signal. The sensor node has an LED that changes colours based on the values received from the ECG. This LED serves as a visual indicator to interpret the ECG results.
During ECG monitoring, the LED colours convey important information. Typically, a green LED indicates normal ECG values, representing a healthy heart rate. If the LED changes to blue, it suggests moderate values, indicating a deviation from the normal heart rate. On the other hand, if the LED turns red, it signifies higher values, suggesting a potentially alarming heart rate. These colour changes help easily identify and assess the ECG values in real-time.
By following this methodology of accurately setting up the ECG heart rate monitor system, including proper power connection, correct electrode placement, monitoring the power supply with the blinking red light, and interpreting ECG values using LED colours changes, one can effectively monitor the heart's electrical activity and identify any deviations from the normal heart rate.
The Wearable Heart Rate Monito system consists of an ECG module, ECG electrodes, and a sensor node with an LED indicator. The ECG module enables accurate measurement and signal acquisition from the heart, while the LED indicator on the sensor node displays different colors to interpret ECG values in real time.
The Wearable Heart Rate Monitor system provides real-time results through colour changes in the LED. The LED displays green for normal values, blue for moderate values, and red for potentially alarming values, facilitating the easy interpretation of the ECG data.
