Abstract
The heart rate can be measured by monitoring one's pulse using specialized medical devices such as an electrocardiograph (ECG), portable device e.g. wrist strap watch, or any other commercial heart rate monitors which normally consisting of a chest strap w ith electrodes. Despite of its accuracy, somehow it is costly, involve many clinical settings and patient must be attended by medical experts for continuous monitoring. For a patient whom already diagnosed with fatal heart disease, their heart rate condition has to be monitored continuously. For this a system is proposed “Design & implementation of biosensor detecting heart beat rate with integrated GSM modem” is an alert system which is able to monitor the heart beat rate condition of person. The heart beat rate is detected using a band consisting of LDR & LED and finger is placed inside the band. When the heart beat detector is working, the LED flashes with each heart beat this output signal is processed using AT89S52 microcontroller to determine the heart beat rate per minute (BPM). Then, it is displayed on a LCD screen & sends SMS alert to the mobile phone of medical experts or patient's family members, or their relatives via SMS. Thus, doctors can monitor and diagnose the patient's condition continuously and could suggest earlier precaution for the patients themselves. This will also alert the family members to quickly attend the patient.
