HEART BEAT MONITORING USING PIC16F877A

Heart Beat rate is most important parameter in monitoring any person’s health. In the modern era of
wearable devices, there are lot of devices which can measure heartbeat, blood pressure, footsteps, calories
burnt and lot of other things. These devices has pulse sensor inside them to sense the pulse rate. we will
also use a pulse sensor with PIC Microcontroller to count heart beat per minute and the Inter-Beat
Interval, these values will be further displayed on 16x2 character LCD. We will use PIC16F877A PIC
microcontroller in this project.

Required Components
1. PIC16F877A microcontroller
2. 20 Mhz Crystal
3. 33pF capacitor 2 pcs
4. 4.7k resistor 1 pcs
5. 16x2 Character LCD
6. 10K pot for contrast control of the LCD
7. SEN-11574 Pulse sensor
8. Velcro strap
9. 5V Power adapter
10. Breadboard and hookup wires

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

The sensor schematic consists optical heart-rate sensor, noise cancellation RC circuitry or filters, R2, C2, C1, C3 and
an operational amplifier MCP6001 are used for reliable amplified analog output.

Things need to be done:

Case 1: Read the ADC
Case 2: Calculate the Heart Beat and IBI
Case 3: Show the heartbeat and IBI on LCD
Case 4: IDLE (Do nothing)
