The heart rate of a person was monitored based on heart resting rate and results or readings taken from the wireless device. The heart rate was classified using fuzzy logic. The input data to be used in developing the membership function. Normal heart rate was different between genders and varies from individuals to other individuals. Fuzzy logic was one of the current technologies that allow description of the desired system behavior using common language. Its membership function assumes the value interval from [0, 1]. A total of three simulation was done. The first simulation was developed based on the simple heart rate classification that was normal from 60 bpm to 100 bpm, Tachycardia for fast heart rate that was more than 100 bpm and Bradycardia for slow heart rate that was less than 60 bpm. The second simulation was developed to classify the resting heart rate for men and women based on their age and fitness level that include athletic, excellent, good and etc. The third simulation was an upgrade from the second simulation. The membership function for heart rate was increase for further precise classification and a graphic user interface (GUI) was introduce to increase the efficiency and interaction. The project was able to develop the membership function and implement in PC. The project was aims to minimize the time to interpret the heart rate condition so that the monitoring process was better. The project was implemented using MATLAB using Fuzzy Logic Toolbox™.
