Embedded based automatic heart attack detector and intimator

Now a day's Heart attack is a common one which affects almost 60% of total population due to their food conditions and various environmental factors. Still now there is no separate system for the intimation of heart attack. After the occurrence of heart attack only, the patient can be monitored. Only pre possible solution for the detection of heart attack is by analyzing the number of beats per minute (BPM). So this work detects the heart attack based on the number of pulses. If the pulse rate other than the range (60-90) occurs it is considered as the indication of heart attack. Addition to this detection of heart attack, this work intimates the occurrence of heart attack to the helpline in wireless GSM module. In this work, a system to detect heart attack is designed and developed. A pulse sensor is used for sensing the heart beat signals. The microcontroller checks these signals and counts the pulses. If the pulses are greater or less than certain levels, the controller activates GSM module and sends an alert message to mobile numbers already coded in a microcontroller. The developed system is tested with the measurement of different male and female persons. The system performed accurate detection and intimation of messages to the different care takers of the patients. Many lives may be saved in the short duration by using this developed system.
