Most of heart diseases and health conditions are reflected by the heart-beat. Especially in the case of surgery, tracking the heart signal is vital to diagnosing the general situation and for making precise predictions in the surgery process. The topic of the thesis derived from a real situation when it is needed to track the heart signal of anesthetized animal in veterinary facilities. The purpose of this thesis was to create a practical solution which would allow us to monitor the heart rate of an animal.
This design included studying circulatory systems, popular methods to ar-chive the heart rate and relative knowledge of electrical automation. The thesis can be divided into two mains parts: hardware and software. The hardware part includes a low-cost stethoscope chest piece connected to a microphone, an amplifier-filter circuit for the heart signal and an Arduino to send data to a webpage. The software was Arduino program to process the input signal from circuit and a website-form to display the heart signal along with other information.
