Design and Construction of a Real Time Android-Based Heartbeat Detection Device

Abstract

Heart rate is an important indicator of cardiovascular health that needs to be monitored regularly to prevent potential heart problems. This research proposes the design and development of an Android-based heart rate detection tool capable of real-time monitoring. This system consists of two main components, a heart rate sensor and an Android application. The heart rate sensor measures the user's heart rate and sends the data via Bluetooth connection to the Android app. This application processes and displays heart rate data in real-time and provides notifications if the heart rate is outside the normal range. The methodology used includes selecting appropriate sensors, application development using kodular, and integration between sensors and applications.

Trials show that the system can detect and display heart rate with accuracy and minimal latency, enabling effective and practical health monitoring. This tool has the potential to increase awareness of heart health and enable better preventive measures.
