ABSTRACT

This report presents the development of Heart Rate Monitoring System for

Patients Using Android Based. Heart Rate Monitoring System is used for patients

who need to monitor their heart rate and determine the range or average they are. To

avoid unexpected situation, such as the occurrence of an emergency for the patient

that it is easier to control their condition. The approach is to use a heart rate sensor

that detects heart beats in which the patient's heart condition or lifestyle or different

activities that they run. It's easier to get the pulse rate of the patient's heartbeat that is

integrated with Wi-Fi Shield to send data to the database on the Web server. Arduino

Uno adopted as the main control chip and a controller for active pulse sensor and the

data exchange is achieved by using Wi-Fi Shield. Wi-Fi Shield will send data when

entering values heartbeat to the database. CPanel is used to log the user in a list that

contains more than the required database information from users. This data will be

displayed automatically in a database table. The test results showed that heart rate

typically in the range 40 to 120 Bpm. The monitoring system is used to monitor all

people regardless of age and society, and they can use this system extensively for

every day no matter where they are. Data from the database will be recorded and

statistics show that in the form of a graph with each point including the date, time

and the heartbeat. The graph display indicates a statistic based on the minutes versus

BPM opponent. Patients will know their exact value of the heart rate on it further.

The experimental results are effective for all levels of society to identify and gain the

true value of their heart rate.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

This project is about the heart rate for the patient whose have heart disease

which will monitor their heart beat using the monitoring system. The heart beat will

evaluate this value of heart beat will transfer to the android based to know that the

patients have the out of the level for average heart rate. A heart attack is a disease

which the correctly and constantly care should be taken. Patients require

monitoring for 24 hours. However, practically patients cannot afford to go in the

hospital for 24 hours. Sensor systems are widely used to monitor vital signs in

hospitals and at home that designed for patients and connected to the hardware and

attached to the patient's body using the heart rate monitoring to count heart beat.

This value is sent to a mobile phone or android application. This device application

takes the values and analyzed to predict heart attack. The SMS or notification

contains the patient’s values of heart rate is sent to Android or iOS of patients

(Navale et al. 2014).

1.2 Problem Statement

People nowadays difficult to go to the hospital because of the cost of

treatment that has the sickness especially heart attack. The problems faced by

patients especially patients with heart disease will have difficulty in receiving

treatment in the event of an emergency due to the limitation of tools to monitor

heart rate for each hospital. The hospital also requires an effective monitoring

2

system in order to control the patient so that it can act promptly when the patient is

in a state of worry. The patient should make an appointment with a doctor or

physician in order to monitor the heart beats can be used on the day fixed for the

tool to be booked. Then, outpatient appointments were not in by physicians is

limited and may not be able to receive treatment in the use of assistive monitor for

heart failure. This problem mostly occurs in hospitals which need continuous

monitoring for patients with heart problems. Doctors should regularly visit or

monitor the patient and also assess the situation by analyzing heart rate. In case of

emergency, the doctor needs to monitor the application or through some means of

communication such as Android. However, comfort of monitoring system approved

by the patient and the doctor. This requires a mechanism or system to further

monitor can measure heart rate at any time and update their patient’s health status

and also to take action remote control if desired. Therefore, a system should be

developed to solve this problem.

1.3 Objective

The objectives of this project are mainly focus:

1. To study limitation of value measurement experienced by patient for heart

rate monitoring system.

2. To develop heart rate monitoring system for outside hospital.

3. To analyze the performance of heart rate monitoring system to patients.

3

1.4 Scope of Project

In heart rate monitoring system, the only one main sensor that have been

choose is Pulse sensor. Pulse sensor is medical device that measure the heart rate of

the all people who want to easily incorporate live heart rate data .It also grown to

be one of the most commonly used medical tests in modern medicine. This project

is used and decided with the location at UTeM. This project also will be reviewed

on the patients for male and female ages from 20 to 30 years old which needed to

attach patient’s body. The first situation dependence of a hospital to receive a lot of

heart patients. The event of an emergency patient need appropriate tools to help

monitor the patient’s body. The database store the Web system where it can show

data display on all application included android based. The data of heart beat also

will display the output on Serial port of Arduino IDE and also will display on LCD.

Then, the patients can know the range of heart rate that 40 BPM until 120 BPM is

the normal value. However when the patients are out of their heart average from

120 beat per minutes above accurately, the buzzer will released it sound (Palatini

2012).

1.5 Significance of Study

Nowadays, the usages of the heart rate monitoring system are widely used

by patients with heart problems. The monitoring system is a device that allows

users to get the size of their heart beats. Patients need an effective system to control

heart problems they face. This monitoring system is important to patients in order

to know they have the disease or not. Then, monitoring system will monitor the

patient and they can know how your heart rate they have. In an emergency

situation, patients also need the appropriate system to help monitor their body. The

patients need this monitoring system because the hospital is sometimes a lack of

4

monitoring and monitor of doctors in stages or continuously. Therefore, this

monitoring system can improve control continuously by a doctor through a

notification in the android that has been stored in the analysis of data and Web

systems. This can make it easier for doctors to know that someone is there or not

heart disease through the values read from the notification on Android or iOS.

Moreover, the use of this monitor system is uniform and wide to all those who want

to measure the heart rate and especially to those with heart disease.
