Force Sensitive Resistance Based Heart Beat Monitoring For Health Care System

Heart related problems are themajor health issues for the human. Almost 1 in every 4 death is mainly due to the heart problems.Most of the people death due to heart problems isdue to poor monitoring.To address this issue this project has been designed . The main aim of this project is to measure the heart rate of an elderly people and to alert the care taker when the heart rate is abnormal. The innovation done in this project is measuring the force of the heartbeat at the wrist and thereby measuring the heart rate. The component used to measure this heart rate is FSR( Force Sensitive Resistor).This device can be implemented by means of wrist watch or wrist bIt also monitors the heart rate of the people for 24 hours.
