The design and simulation of a low signal wireless communication system for detecting, measuring and analyzing heart rate (pulse) is proposed. A composite personal health monitor solution bridges the gaps between patients and doctors/health personnel. The system is user friendly and can use optical technology to detect the flow of blood through wrist. The phases that were adopted include pulse detection, signal extraction, pulse amplification and broadcasting through readable output, alarm and text messages. The information are log and can be monitored and retrieved at any time for analysis. This system is an effective means of preventing sudden death by timely response, improving and providing an easy-access and convenient human health monitor solution, critical information can be shared on large scale coverage within a short time to prevent sudden emergency.
