It is possible to detect the onset of a heart attack and eliminate patient error. Our device intends to benefit those at high risk and already receiving some form of surgical treatment. By sensing the heart beat rate, the patient need not worry about device operation. The patient will only be required to carry a what we developed system with GPS technology. When the implant detects a heart attack, it will alert the microcontroller which in turn will automatically send the help sms and provide the patientâ„¢s location. The goal is to provide early heart attack detection so that the patient will be given medical attention within the first few critical hours, thus greatly improving his or her chances of survival
