how to use microcontroller codings to convert ecg signal to heart rate

hi to all, 
if any body could help me out in conversion of ECG signal to heart rate ,
to send it as a message to any mobile for medical usage , i am using gsm
modem for transmissiom.
also please suggest any good gsm modem available in india and should be
cheap for laboratory purpouse.
which microcontroller could be easily interfaced for ecg applications in
8051 microcontrollers series.
         thanks for helping 
bye take care

Hi

I suggest that you read up a little about the information contained in an
ECG.

A good source of info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiogram

Suggestion of good GSM modules (modem) that is available in india:
(They've got different models, used them once, never had any hassles)

As far as a microcontroller is concerned, (If I am forced to use a 8051),
my choice for this application would be the following:

I suggest that the OP hires someone competent to carry out this
medical project, rather than asking usenet to design him the next
Therac.

TI has an application note on exactly what you need to do (schematics
too)

Often you can get ideas from FCC type acceptance filings; for example here
is a Timex heart rate monitor <remote sensor>/<wristwatch readout> schematic from
a 1999 filing:

https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=36188&native_or_pdf=pdf

Other supporting documents describe what mcus were used and provide block diagrams.
There are other remote ecg monitoring products in other filings to inspect as well.

BTW: does anyone have any info on an old Prospirit HRM similar to the Timex cited above?
I thought that I had archived documentation on it years ago but I can no longer locate
it; the units would be a good basis for a project I am contemplating. I still haven't
found the FCC filing for this one; perhaps it will turn up under some other product
description.

Michael

FWIW, internal inspection reveals that it is a 'G.Pulse SBM-5000', which
is still a current product (8 yrs old). Basic documentation is available
from the Taiwanese Mfg.'s site. The device does not have an FCC OET record
nor does the manufacturer have _any_ FCC records, however the device
radiates at 130kHz and has a 'CE number' sticker affixed to it.

Please see my post inquiring about availability of CE certification data.

Regards,

Michael

Nice Link :):)
The link is excellent for making a digital heart-rate monitor using a
MSP430 :):)
