FPGA BASED HEARTBEATS MONITOR WITH FINGERTIP OPTICAL SENSOR

The heart is an organ of human body which has a vital function, small abnormalities can have a big impact on the performance of the body. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the world. Examination of the heart can be detected from blood flow in the fingertips, in order to obtain information about the number and rhythm of the heartbeat. This research aims to design and implement the FPGA board to monitor the heart rate with optical sensors.The results of this study are expected to facilitate the patient's medical team or independently in detecting heart health. The series is composed of blocks of sensors, signal conditioning block, the block pulse counter, block timer 10 seconds and blocks the viewer. Based on the test results of the 10 respondents with a variety of age and gender, has built a tool that the percentage error of 3.94%.
