Portable health monitoring systems support early detection of health problems and help in preventing their consequences. A traditional approach of heart monitoring has always meant that people will go to a hospital where a cardiologist or medical officer will examine the patient for any heart diseases. A standard Electrocardiogram (ECG) machine normally found in big hospitals is not economical due to its high cost and requires a specialist to handle the machine. A Low Cost Portable Heart beat monitor using Infrared sensor is a Bio-medical project built to measure the heart beat in real-time. In this project, Infrared LED and a photodiode has been used as a sensor to measure the heart rate and NI-myDAQ to convert the Analog output signal to Digital signal. Our proposed Heart rate measuring device is user friendly and uses optical technology to detect the flow of blood through the body. The phases used in monitoring heart beat include pulse detection, pulse amplification and Pulse measurement. The proposed model has got an improved accuracy in the detection of heart beat by using a 2-stage amplifier design along with post processing of the digital signal.
