Heartbeat and ECG Measurement

Objective

This experiment measures heart rate and ECG signals using sensors like the Pulse Sensor and ECG Sensor.

Required Components

• Pulse Sensor
• ECG Sensor
• Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
• Jumper wires
• Breadboard

Working Principle

The pulse sensor detects changes in blood flow, while the ECG sensor measures electrical signals generated by the heart.

Arduino Code

/*
 * Heartbeat and ECG Measurement
 * This code reads data from the pulse sensor and ECG sensor.
 */

const int pulsePin = A0;  // Pulse sensor connected to analog pin A0
int pulseValue = 0;

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);  // Initialize serial communication
}

void loop() {
    pulseValue = analogRead(pulsePin);  // Read the pulse value
    Serial.print("Heartbeat Value: ");
    Serial.println(pulseValue);

    delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second before the next reading
}
            

Results

The serial monitor will display the heartbeat data and ECG signal values.

Applications

• Medical devices for heart rate monitoring
• Health and fitness tracking systems
• Wearable health tech

Conclusion

The heartbeat and ECG sensors provide valuable data for monitoring heart health, with applications in medical devices and wearable health technology.
