The present invention includes devices, methods and systems for reporting a heart rate comprising: an input device; a microprocessor coupled to the input device and a power supply, wherein the microprocessor is programmed with a predetermined heartbeat threshold and calculates the number of times the input device is actuated over a predetermined amount of time; and a display connected to the microprocessor that receives the calculated heart rate and displays whether the heart rate is below, at or above predetermined threshold, e.g., when a patient has less than 60 heartbeats per minute, between 60 and 100 heartbeats per minute and greater than 100 heartbeats per minute. |

1. A device for reporting a heart rate comprising:
an input device actuated by an end user each time the end user detects a heartbeat of a patient; a microprocessor coupled to the input device, the microprocessor is programmed with a first predetermined patient heartbeat threshold having a first unique identifier, a second predetermined patient heartbeat threshold having a second unique identifier, and a third predetermined patient heartbeat threshold having a third unique identifier, the microprocessor including a central processing unit (CPU), a computer readable memory, a computer readable storage media, and a set of program instruction including,
first program instructions to generate a calculated heart rate based on a number of times the input device is actuated over an amount of time using received signals of each said actuation,second program instructions to determine whether the calculated heart rate resides within the first, second or third predetermined patient heartbeat thresholds,third program instructions to generate a uniquely identified calculated heart rate by associating the corresponding first, second or third unique identifier to said calculated heart rate based on said determined threshold,wherein the first, second and third program instructions are all stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory; and a display connected to the microprocessor that receives and displays the uniquely identified calculated heart rate to indicate whether the calculated heart rate resides within the first, second or third predetermined patient heartbeat threshold, said display outputs a numerical output that comprises uniquely identified average heartbeats per minute. |
