Abstract

This project consists of developing a non-invasive prototype for possible detection of heart problems. This prototype will feature a microcontroller board, sensors and the development of an application to visualize results in real time. The system will be developed at a low cost and will be tested on a bench to validate its operation. This project aims to monitor heart rate, oxygen level, body temperature and study possible non-invasive ways to treat heart problems, such as coronary disease.
