Pulse Oximeter Design

This repository contains the implementation of a Pulse Oximeter, a device used to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate. The project demonstrates a practical application of hardware and software integration using Arduino.

About the Project

The Pulse Oximeter is designed to detect blood oxygen levels and pulse rate through the use of light sensors and simple signal processing. The system provides a real-time display of the measured data on an LCD screen.

Features

• Accurate measurement of SpO2 and pulse rate
• Real-time data visualization on an LCD
• Modular and easy-to-assemble hardware design

My Contribution to the Project

I am Caner, an engineering student. My primary contributions to this project were:

• System Integration: Ensuring seamless interaction between the hardware components, such as the light sensor, microcontroller, and display module.
• Troubleshooting: Identifying and resolving issues in hardware and software to improve accuracy and usability.

This project allowed me to apply and enhance my skills in system-level thinking, hardware debugging, and microcontroller programming.

How It Works

1. Data Collection: The light sensor detects changes in light intensity caused by blood flow in the user's finger.
2. Data Processing: The Arduino microcontroller processes the sensor data to compute SpO2 and heart rate using appropriate algorithms.
3. Display: The processed results are displayed on an LCD for real-time monitoring.

Tools and Technologies Used

• Arduino Uno: Utilized as the microcontroller to process sensor data and manage hardware components efficiently.
• MAX30100 Pulse Oximeter Sensor: Used to measure blood oxygen levels (SpO2) and heart rate with high precision through optical absorption techniques.
• 16x2 LCD Display: For real-time visualization of SpO2 and heart rate measurements, ensuring user-friendly data presentation.

Future Improvements

• Explore more advanced signal processing algorithms to enhance accuracy
• Add connectivity features like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for remote monitoring
• Optimize the design for a compact and portable form factor
