The main goal of this project is to measure the cardiac pulse and its duration time by means of a Cardiac Pulse Sensor. Later we will send this data to the ThingSpeak server through the Python software.
I have already written projects where we send data to the internet cloud, using the ESP8266 wifi and the Raspberry Pi. On this occasion we will try something different. We will use the PC and the Windows operating system. For this, the Arduino board will send the data to the personal computer and then we will use Python to manage the data and send it to the ThingSpeak server.
This project can serve as the basis to create a larger project in which you can add a temperature sensor or other sensors, and thus create a vital signs monitor with data that can be observed in the cloud through the use of "Internet of Things ".
