- Cardiovasculardiseases are one of the leading causes of health complications worldwide, and early detection of heart-related abnormalities is essential for effective treatment and prevention. Traditional cardiac monitoring systems, such as hospital-based equipment, provide accurate results but are not suitable for continuous, everyday use. To address this limitation, this project proposes an Integrated ECG–PPG Wearable for Real-Time Cardiac Care, a compact and user-friendly device designed to monitor heart activity continuously outside clinical environments.

The wearable integrates two sensing technologies: Electrocardiography (ECG) and Photoplethysmography (PPG). The ECG sensor measures the electrical activity of the heart, providing detailed information about heart rhythm and detecting irregularities such as arrhythmias. The PPG sensor measures changes in blood volume and pulse rate using light-based detection, enabling continuous tracking of cardiovascular performance. By combining these two methods, the system improves monitoring accuracy and provides a more comprehensive understanding of heart health.
