Android Application to Detect and Alert Tachycardia and Bradycardia using Pulse Rate Sensor

Heart rate monitoring is most vital in preventing disorders related to heart. Failure to
detect heart disorder in early stage may lead to death. The lacking of devices to
immediately detect the abnormalities in heart and alert the patients emergency contact
lead to this problem. In this report the author propose a system to detect two heart
disorders called Tachycardia and Bradycardia which are caused by abnormalities in
heart rate. The proposed system will consist of a pulse sensor which will be connected
to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The signal information which is processed by the
microcontroller will be sent to the mobile phone. An app created will send an alert to
the emergency contacts of the patients when Tachycardia or Bradycardia condition
has been detected by the sensor. This will increase the possibilities of giving
immediate treatment to the patient, and hope to reduce the death rate caused by heart
disorders
