Design & Construction of Arduino Based Heart Beat Monitoring System

Executive Summary

There are a lot of pain types appear in human from all ages such as: knee
pain, pelvic pain and sport injuries...etc. So the Transcutaneous Electrical
Nerve Stimulation (TENS) unit made to resolve the needs of drugs to relief
pain. It is a noninvasive technique used for pain modulation. In this project a
simulated TENS unit has been made using Proteus and Arduino IDE. Then
tried to make a hardware sample. The simulated TENS unit was made for
four modes and recorded the output of each mode using an oscilloscope.
Then the result has made from the comparison of each mode together.
 Motivation
A lot of pain types appear in human from all ages such as: knee pain,
pelvic pain and sport injuries...etc. So the transcutaneous electrical
nerve stimulation (TENS) unit made to resolve the needs of drugs to
relief pain which leads to addiction problem for some people and
reduce the using pain killers.

Arduino Uno
The Arduino has an electronic prototyping platform based on Atmega
AVR Microcontroller. It Operates on +5 Volts. It has 14 Digital input
output pins. It also have 6 Analog Input Pins. It has Flash Memory of
32KB and 1KB EEPROM. This is Serial Communication enabled.
 Heartbeat Sensor
The reflection-type pulse sensor which is used at present is ROHM. This
kind of sensor is used to generate infrared, red color, or green color light
toward the human body & measures the light which is reflected through
a phototransistor or photodiode. In the arteries of the human body,
Oxygenated hemoglobin has the feature of absorbing light. So by detecting
the rate of blood flow that changes heart tightening on time so that we
can able to compute the pulse sign

 PULSE STIMULATION

As an EMS/TENS device, the Electrodes completes a circuit using the

human body, which depending on the voltage, can cause muscle
groups to contract involuntarily; causing fingers to twitch, arms to
move, hands to grasp, and more. The Electrodes is a relatively
customizable device that takes an electric current from either a TENS
unit or a handmade EMS unit (If you use your own device make sure
to start at a very low current and always use AC current). You then
split that signal into two channels, one will be (+) and the other (-).

 Advantages

•It doesn't require medicines or injections

•It may give you some control over pain relief
•Able to move about
•No harm to you or your baby
•It can be used at home during early labor
 Precautions
Before using any type of device that sends voltage through your body,
definitely read if you have any implanted electronic devices or similar
medical concerns and determine should avoid, EMS is cool but not that
cool. Note that this Instruct able is for the arm only. No way responsible for
any damage or issues receive from using this device, please be safe by
reading up on EMS and see if there are any dangers that would prevent
from using this device.  Heart patients and pregnant women should not use
this device. Also, do not attach electrodes to burns, cuts, wounds or any
injury. Consult physician before using this circuit.
 Conclusion
The TENS device has been designed and obtained with a lowest cost
available. Also it prevented addiction to painkillers. In the other hand
it works on high frequencies to reach only the pain gates and on the
few frequencies that stimulate endorphins and work on blood flow in
the affected areas.
