Using 8051 Microcontroller for ECG and heart rate measurement

Introduction

This project is based on using a microcontroller for a prevalent medical issue. As of


the present situation, the need of heart-related diagnostic tools is necessary for the far
fetch. The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an essential diagnostic tool that is used to
measure and record the heart's electrical activity. A wide range of heart conditions is
detected when interpreting the recorded ECG Signals. These qualities have made the
ECG a perfect instrument for patient monitoring and supervision. The normal
heartbeat has begun as an electrical impulse generated in the heart. From there, the
electrical activity spreads as a wave over other valves of the heart. This project
focuses on how to use the 8051 microcontroller to measure the ECG signal and help
determine any medical issues based on the recorded and analysed data.

About the Principle of working

● ECG is used to evaluate the heart by placing small electrodes at certain spots on the
human body such as the arms, chest or legs. These are then connected to an ECG
machine. The electrical activity of the heart is measured and analysed.

● ECG is used to record these impulses to analyse any irregularities in the rhythm of the
heartbeats or the strengths and timings of the heartbeats. Any irregularities help in
determining any heart diseases that the person may be having.

About the Working of the Circuit

● The electrodes are used for receiving the signal from the subject. The ECG signals are
first amplified by using an amplifier circuit. The amplifier circuit helps in amplifying
the signal and then uses a notch filter. A notch filter is a type of band-stop filter to
suppress noise in the amplified signal within a certain bandwidth. The amplified
signal is then fed to the microcontroller which performs analog to digital conversion
for better and faster computation. The microcontroller then transmits the data to an
LCD display using the serial communication protocol UART(Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) for transfer of data.

● Thus, the ECG signals are measured, amplified and then inputted to 8051
microcontroller which computes and outputs the value to an LCD displaying the heart
rate on a beat-by-beat basis.
