In the current paper we have described the design, testing and result data of a low cost heart beat measuring device. The proposed model works on the properties of optics. Our model is non-invasive in nature and able to measure heart rate of any individual during different physical activities. We have also developed a better algorithm for measuring heart beat rate at a fixed interval of 5 seconds. The heart beat is counted by a specific microcontroller that displays the heart rate data on an LCD continuously. We have also measured the heart beat rate of an individual running on the trademill at variable speed and compared the result with our model.
