Occupational Therapy Dexterity/Cognitive Aid

Medical – Health based Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

The Need: Occupational Therapy Device Occupational therapy is used in treating Traumatic Brain Injury during many phases of recovery and rehabilitation. As the patient’s condition improves, occupational therapy helps them regain skills ranging from basic self-care, to complex cognitive skills such as memory and problem solving. Occupational therapy can be helpful for individuals of all ages. Source: http://www.head-trauma-resource.com/occupational-therapy.htm According to numerous […]

Arduino measures heart beat rate from fingertip

Medical – Health based Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

The PIC16F628A based heart rate meter is one of the most popular projects published on Embedded Lab. In this article, I am going to show how to replicate the same project using a simpler platform like Arduino. The Arduino heart rate meter will use Arduino Uno, Easy Pulse Plugin, and 4-digit SPI seven segment LED

Arduino Based Heartbeat Monitor

Medical – Health based Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure monitoring are very important parameters of human body. Doctors use various kind of medical apparatus like thermometer for checking fever or body temperature, BP monitor for blood pressure measurement and heart rate monitor for heart rate measurement. In this project, we have built an Arduino based heartbeat monitor

Heart Beat Monitoring over Internet using Arduino and ThingSpeak

Medical – Health based Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

In this project we are going to make a Heart Beat Detection and Monitoring System using Arduino that will detect the heart beat using the Pulse Sensor and will show the readings in BPM (Beats Per Minute) on the LCD connected to it. It will also send the readings to ThingSpeak server using the Wi-Fi

Arduino-based Graphical Heart Rate Monitor

Medical – Health based Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Introduction: Like many out there, I enjoy a good exercise session, whether it be indoors or outdoors. As part of that I purchased a Polar branded heart rate monitor, which came with a “Wearlink” chest strap and RS300Xsd receiver watch. The watch is able to do quite a bit of analysis on its own, in

Arduino – Cannot get ECG readings from heart, but I do when I poke at the leads

Medical – Health based Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

down vote favorite I have a minor issue with my ECG. When I poke at the leads, I get a reading. But when I hold the leads or place it near my heart, I don’t get anything. I’m pretty sure this is hardware related, but I don’t want to completely rule out a potential software
