Monitoring vital signs in patients is used to obtain relevant data for medical decisions in a fast way. However, this measurement is both inefficient and difficult, if not impossible in certain cases, such as in burnt victims, due to the impossibility of placing the electrodes directly on the skin or in infants, because of the fragility of skin. This study aims to develop of a system for continuous acquisition of photopletismografics (PPG) signals for the telemetry of heart rate in real time in a low cost platform using the OpenCV library and the method developed by MIT called the Eulerian Video Magnification, amplifying variations that are imperceptible to the naked eye. To develop the system were used the hardware platform Raspberry Pi version B with ARM11 700MHz processor and 512MB RAM. The heart rate data collected from the experi- ments were compared with data collected by a finger oximeter model More Fitness MF-425 it was chosen, by using the same working principle "PPG"to effect the measurement. After data collection was estimated the confidence interval to measure system accuracy, which corresponded to 96,5% compared to the oximeter used. It became clear that the developed system used to measure heart rate via magnification method of Eulerian live video is a low-cost technology (approximately R$ 300.00) compared to the multiparameter monitors used for monitoring critically patients, ranging in cost from R$ 8,000.00 to R$ 34,000.00. So also, it contributes to cost reduction in the treatment to the patient in need of constant monitoring, enabling with the savings generated by the acquisition and deployment of this technology makes possible greater investment in other areas of hospitals.
