Abstract: Aged people or physically handicapped people and the people suffering from some serious diseases are usually confined to their homes, due to their health conditions. They are put into a helpless situation when they need to go out for even small tasks like walking, shopping, meeting friends and relatives. Their movement is restricted to such an extent that they may start to feel isolated from the society and develop boredom and depression. This paper deals with the design and development of GSM enabled Heart Rate Monitoring & Control system. The system uses GSM for communicating the abnormalities in heat rate values. Abnormal deviation in the values of any of these parameters from their set point values will be immediately sensed and local help is sought from the nearby people. If no such help is available, this system sends SMS directly to home, doctor or care taker’s mobile phone. Heart rate is the number of heat-beats per unit of time, typically expressed as beats per minute (bpm). An attempt is made to design and develop a system that uses a simulator circuit to crate abnormalities in the heart rate which includes Tachycardia and Bradycardia conditions. It is a bi-directional communication system in which the care taker/Doctor, also can send SMS to know the present parameter status of the person or patient.
