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). A past few days ago we felt boring and we saw about node.js and thought of implementing something out of that........... And it finally resulted into development of this Prototype which actually Displays Heart Rate in beats per minute using IR pulse sensor..........

This prototype can weigh up to 200kg, it transfers the values via Sigfox and Node-Red (IBM Bluemix) back to a database hosted on the Raspberry PI and graphs created from the database's content are viewable on a custom website hosted on the Raspberry PI. This was made possible by sharing connection from a phone.
Project Description:
Software/ online service : Arduino IDE, node.js, Amazon Web Services AWS EC2
Arduino: Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.. You can tinker with your UNO without worrying too much about doing something wrong, worst case scenario you can replace the chip for a few dollars and start over again.
Bread Board: A breadboard is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. Originally it was literally a breadboard, a polished piece of wood used for slicing bread. In the 1970s the solderless breadboard (a.k.a. plugboard, a terminal array board) became available and nowadays the term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to these.
USB-A to Micro-USB Cable USB, short for Universal Serial Bus, is an industry standard that was developed to define cables, connectors and protocols for connection, communication, and power supply between personal computers and their peripheral devices.
Jumper wires: A jump wire (also known as jumper, jumper wire, jumper cable, DuPont wire, or DuPont cable – named for one manufacturer of them) is an electrical wire, or group of them in a cable, with a connector or pin at each end (or sometimes without them – simply "tinned"), which is normally used to interconnect the components of a breadboard or other prototype or test circuit, internally or with other equipment or components, without soldering
Pulse Oximeter/Heart Rate Sensor : The Pulse sensor board from ProtoCentral is our new addition to our open medical hardware line-up. Maxim's MAX30100 is a great new product that combines everything required for a pulse oximeter (including the LEDs and Photodiode !!) on a single tiny chip.
Measuring 14 mm wide and 40 mm long, this board is easily wearable on the finger to measure the pulse of blood. We even provide a Velcro strap to hold it.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B: Delivering up to 10x the processing performance of the original Raspberry Pi and added connectivity with 802.11 b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth 4.1
Kit required to develop Heart Rate Monitor Using IoT:
