Calculating Heart Rate from Pulse Signals

This MATLAB application provides an efficient solution for calculating heart rate from pulse signal data. The program utilizes digital signal processing techniques to automatically analyze input pulse signals and deliver accurate heart rate measurements. Key features include: The implementation employs peak detection algorithms to identify individual pulse beats within the signal waveform. Using time-domain analysis, the application calculates the average time interval between consecutive peaks and converts this to heart rate (beats per minute). The code includes preprocessing steps such as signal filtering to remove noise and baseline wander, ensuring reliable results even with noisy input data. This tool eliminates the need for manual heart rate calculations, streamlining the process for both healthcare professionals and general users. The program accepts various pulse signal data formats and provides immediate results, making it valuable for health monitoring applications and preliminary medical diagnostics. The intuitive interface requires users to simply input their pulse signal data, after which the algorithm automatically processes the information and returns the computed heart rate. With its combination of accuracy and user-friendly design, this utility serves as a practical tool for quick health assessments and educational purposes in physiological signal analysis.
