Project Abstract
Detecting anomalies in the heart sounds of premature infants is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention, particularly for conditions like pulmonary artery turbulence and congenital heart defects. Traditional methods often fail to detect weak, low-frequency heart sounds. Our project uses an Arduino-based system to amplify these sounds using advanced filtering techniques and Automatic Gain Control (AGC). This ensures consistent output and accurate detection. Initial results show effective amplification across various frequencies, maintaining stability at around 3.8V. This innovative, cost-effective approach promises to improve neonatal care by providing real-time, reliable heart sound monitoring.
