Our World Today has witnessed an abrupt development in different fields of life. One of these fields is Health section which it's considered the care of this field one of important aspects of the developed countries. The invention of wireless technology and smart phones facilitated monitoring of patients remotely and made the emergency room's staff to take care of more patients in less time and effort. In this paper it's proposed to design and simulate of ECG and heart rate model using wireless sensor network. This system was implemented to be able to measure a biological aspects of a patient's health like heart rate measuring , Electrocardiograph ECG, Blood pressure etc. The benefit of this system is to overcome the problem of large instruments located in ER and replaced by and small devices with low cost, also to keep track and check even though medical staff arenot in the emergency room by an alert in smart phone using an available and simple app e.g. "Remote XY" and GUI as an interface with processing unit. This system has been built using small sensor nodes that are attached to the patient's body are ECG sensor (AD8232) and 3-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG), Heart beat sensor (KY-039), Bluetooth sensor connection and a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) on smartphone. The cases study have been checked, the results showed near accurate measurements of heart rate and clear graphs of ECG.
