Design of a Simple and Low-Cost Microcontroller Based Medicare Device for Heart Beat Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heart beat monitoring is vital to ensuring healthiness of the human cardiovascular system, but availability of a simple and low-cost heart beat monitoring device that does not require expert medical personnel to handle still remains a challenge especially in rural and semiurban areas of developing countries like Nigeria. This paper describes the design and implementation of a simple, reliable, accurate and cost effective microcontroller based heart beat monitoring device with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and voice outputs. The heart rate of the subject is measured from the fingertip using optical sensors and the rate is then displayed on a text based LCD and voice outputs in English language and two Nigerian indigenous languages (Hausa and Yoruba).

متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
