# ECG Monitoring System on Arduino Uno

In modern health conditions and medical diagnostics, devices for monitoring cardiac activity play a crucial role. One such device is the **Electrocardiograph (ECG)** — a tool for recording and analyzing the heart's electrical activity. With advancements in technology, it has become possible to create affordable ECG devices using microcontrollers and open-source sensors.

## Project Overview

The goal of this project is to develop a **prototype** for recording an **electrocardiogram** using an **Arduino Uno** microcontroller and the **AD8232** sensor. This project serves both **medical** and **educational purposes**, as the design and software can easily be adapted to a wide range of applications.

## Key Features

- **Real-time ECG Data**: Capture and display the heart's electrical activity.
- **Educational Tool**: Learn how ECGs are recorded and analyzed using accessible hardware and software.
- **Customizable Software**: Modify the code to fit different requirements and applications.
- **Visualization**: Real-time ECG signal displayed on a PC or mobile device.

## Components

- **Arduino Uno**: The main microcontroller that collects ECG signals from the sensor.
