Proposal
Heart failure costs our country more than 2.8 billion Canadian dollars every year. To build a viable, healthy and safe community, it is essential that heart health is optimal, particularly as heart disease is on the rise. Every heart has a pulse signal that can be seen with an electrocardiogram This wave is broken up into six components; these components are denoted by P,Q,R,S, and T, and specify different features of the wave of electric potential, or voltage, that one’s heart produces. The shape of these waves and the distance between the aforementioned points are one of the main features by which heart problems or failures can be diagnosed. In the proposed project, the ECG signal will be read. To do so, a circuit will be constructed which will amplify the ECG signal so that it can be interpreted. The information from this circuit will be processed using the programming language Python. The P, Q, R, S, and T points will be labeled by the program. The program will also estimate the time interval between these points. The program’s interpretation of the waves will be used to diagnose the patient and determine if there any problems present. Good heart health is crucial to viable, healthy, and safe communities; therefore, a PQRST timing detection and heart feature monitor is vital.
