ABSTRACT

The heartbeat or heart rate (HR) and its derivatives may offer significant insights into human health and associated physiological states. Heart rate is commonly utilized in health gadgets for the aged, as it may be obtained from a fundamental electrocardiogram (ECG) input. A collection of dermal electrodes is employed to acquire the ECG signal prior to the initiation of a heart rate monitor. Monitoring heart rate is crucial for diverse purposes, encompassing exercise tracking, medical diagnostics, and overall health assessment. Traditional methods include ECG devices or manual counting over a specified duration, which may not be feasible or accessible to all individuals. A heartbeat counter device automates heart rate measurement and delivers real-time feedback. The major objective of the heartbeat counter is to utilize non-invasive methods to accurately and efficiently assess the user's heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). The device must be user-friendly, portable, and capable of providing precise measurements under many conditions, including at rest or during physical activity. This work accomplishes three tasks. The initial task involves examining the existing literature on ECG, with particular emphasis on methodologies for estimating heartbeat or heart rate. The second assignment emphasizes ECG extraction throughout significant distortion, while the third task employs an Arduino and a liquid crystal display to achieve precise heartbeat estimation utilizing the acquired ECG signal. The retrieved ECG signals are relatively clear and satisfactory for all instances. The heartbeat mechanism facilitates precise and adequate measurement of heart rate, since it focuses on the number of beats per minute (BPM).
