Real Time Health Monitoring System using LabView

Nowadays the lifestyle of human being is changing day by day due to daily routine of whole schedule. It is necessary for individuals to know their heart rate become of the fact that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world, especially in developing countries. Heart rate or pulse and body temperature monitoring are very important parameters of human body. Doctors are use various kind of medical apparatus like thermometer for checking fever or body temperature, BP monitor for blood pressure measurement and heart rate monitor for heart rate measurement. In this proposed project a hardware which monitors heart beat and body temperature a human being through wired and wireless circuit using LABVIEW, with at mega 328 controller. The design of a simple, low-cost microcontroller based heart rate measuring device with seven segment display output. The method that has been used to measure heart rate in this project is widely known as photoplethysmography (PPG). The constructed device can be used to find out the heart rate and body temperature of a person and on analyze reading using existing software (LABVIEW). Here a heartbeat and temperature sensor module which senses the heart beat and temperature upon putting a finger on the sensor are used. It then processes on real-time the information to determine some heart rate and body temperature. This proposed heart rate measuring (HRM) and body temperature device is economical and user friendly.
