Abstract
Pulse measurement is considered one of the important parameters for diagnosis of various abnormalities. There are many devices available in the market which is used for pulse measurement but they are quite expensive, bulky and complex to use. So for overcoming these problems we tried to design a device which is independent of battery and a display which makes it highly compact and also works fine with almost all devices which supports OTG. No dedicated app is required for operating the device and can work with all kinds of messaging apps. As soon as it will detect the pulse a proper report containing the measured values will appear in the specific messaging app. Also the device is compatible with all kinds of the computers and laptops. The device works on the principle of photoplethysmography as it measures the pulse rate. The microcontroller processes the data and sends them to the device to which it is connected. It is highly useful for the people who need to measure their pulse rate very frequently like heart patients, Athletes etc.
Keywords

Pulse Rate, OTG, photoplethysmography, microcontroller.
