In this modern era, we have seen increased number of heart diseases and increased risk of heart attacks. Heart attacks pose a serious health risk and can be life-threatening. They occur when a blockage in the coronary arteries disrupts blood flow to the heart, which can cause permanent damage. Hence it is very much imperative to detect the Heart Attack on time and provide necessary lifesaving medical care to the patients. In our proposed project, the system provides sensors that allow detecting heart rate of a person using heartbeat sensing even if the person is at a remote place (i.e. home, office, travel etc.). The sensors are then interfaced to a microcontroller that allows checking heart rate readings and transmitting them over internet. The user is enabled to set the various levels i.e. HIGH, LOW levels of heart beat limit. Once these limits are setup / configured, the system starts monitoring and as soon as patient heart beat goes above a certain limit (i.e. crossing the Thresholds), the system sends an alert to the controller which then transmits this over the internet and alerts the doctors as well as concerned users. Also the system alerts for lower heartbeat rates. Whenever the user logs on for monitoring, the system also displays the live heart rate of the patient. Thus, concerned stake holders can monitor heart rates and receive alerts of heart attack to the patient immediately from anywhere and the person's life can be saved on time.
