INTRODUCTION
The heart beat rate is the number of times the persons heart
beat in one minute.
Digital heart beat counter count the pulse continuously and
automatically.
It have the following features:-
4. A piezoelectric accelerometer as sensor.
5. A blinking LED for visual indication of persons pulse.
6. Counts are automatic and displayed on a 2 seven segment
display.
7. Continuous monitoring can be done.
8. Counting can be done from remote place.
9. Works off AC mains or batteries.
PRINCIPLE
A persons heart forces his blood to flow throw the
arteries.
Arteries throb in synchronisation with the beating of
heart.
Throbbing can be felt at wrist.
Electronically this throbbing is sensed with an
accelerometer, which convert it in to electrical signal.
Counter section count the number of pulses for 10
seconds and display it for 5 seconds.
•CARDIAC CYCLE
The function of heart is to maintain a constant
circulation of blood throughout the body.
This is acheived by rhythmic contraction of it’s
muscle.
It is the sequence of events which occur in the
heart during a single beat.
The rate of heart is 72 beats per minute .
Time taken for 1 beat is 0.8 seconds.
It appears in two phases
1. Systole - A period of contraction.
2. Diastole – A period of relaxation.
•PULSE
Pulse is the throbbing sensation felt over the walls of
arteries.
Pulse rate is almost the same as heart rate .
The wrist is the common site where pulse is usually
felt, which is referred as radial pulse.
Bradycardia occurs when the pulse rate is below 60.
Tachycardia occurs when pulse rate is above 100.
During sleep pulse rate is 40 BPM.

•CONSTRUCTION OF THE SENSOR
Instead of commercial accelerometer, self constructed
accelerometer is used.
It is constructed by using a ceramic piezo buzzer
element.
The diameter of the brass plate and silver layer of the
piezo buzzer plate is used in this project are around
27mm and 18mm respectively.
One of the two wire of 2 core shielded earphone cable
is connected to white silver layer sprayed over the
piezo element, and other wire to brass plate.
Mount the mass centrally over the white silver layer.
