Is it possible to use this MAX30102 heart rate sensor to detect a heart attack?
Hi there, right now I am planning to make a device which can detect a heart attack by using MAX30102
After a small research, I found out that a heart attack may be caused by a sudden increase in heart rates or the SpO2 level (the amount of oxygen that your blood is carrying) is lower than 90%.
So my question is: Is it possible to use this MAX30102 heart rate sensor to detect a heart attack?
PS: Also, can an AI be useful in this kind of project. In the future, I might going to track my sleep using heart rates.
Thank you.

The MAX30102 sensor is great for measuring heart rate and SpO2, but using it to detect a heart attack isn’t straightforward. Heart attacks involve more than just changes in heart rate or oxygen levels, so relying on this sensor alone wouldn't be enough for accurate detection.
But I think that AI can help because it can analyze heart rate and SpO2 patterns over time to spot anything unusual. But to reliably detect a heart attack, you'd need more data, like ECG readings or other health metrics....

in order to prevent heart attack you have to use other components
like this one :
its mean to analyse your heart beat
wich is ecg
So you think that this one is more accurate than Max30102?
How can I implement AI on it?
the more informations you have the best you can prevent risk for the heart
I'd say implement both

I guess the question I'd have is what is your motivation for the project, and how to you plan to test it?
I don't have a ton of information, but I remember a friend of mine who is a cardiologist (I think that's the right terminology here) telling me about remote monitoring devices they use. From what he said, I would guess they are cellular or Bluetooth (to cellular) devices that they can track people all the time. So apparently this sort of thing exists, and it seems like it would be very hard to verify whether something like you're doing works without a huge budget.
This seems like a tough one to finish if that makes any sense. I certainly enjoy experimenting on things that might not be practical projects, so I hope that doesn't come off as too discouraging.
It sounds couraging tbh, I like topics wich are challenging, if it wasn't for realising it is just for Satisfying my curiosity 😅
