This document describes a wireless sensor network heart rate monitoring system. The system uses a heart beat sensor that detects heart pumping and produces a pulse rate output, which is sent to a microcontroller. The microcontroller plots the heart rate in real time and stores it on a computer or mobile device for patient monitoring and analysis. Potential applications include in-home patient monitoring where vital signs are monitored remotely to allow patients more freedom while still receiving care. The system aims to address the lack of attending healthcare staff in India by allowing remote monitoring.
