Using ECG to prevent heart attack

Hi, I am trying to design a prototype device using a pulse sensor, record the heart rate and convert the electrical signals to an ECG and alert the subject of a possible heart attack. I need to come up with a catchy title and what can my hypothesis be? I plan to collect data from different age group, gender, activities, time of the day etc...But I am a little stuck on what hypothesis should I come up with and a super catchy title. Please help!

'Catchy' titles are unnecessary and distracting. Just say what you did.
I'm not sure how you can use a pulse sensor to recreate the electrical signals of an ECG. The ECG machine specifically registers the heart's electrical activity, not pulse rate.
You can use a pulse rate device to measure response to exercise, caffeine, visual stimulation and other things that cause pulse rate to vary. Changes in pulse rate can be associated with a heart attack but I don't know how accurate they would be.
Post again with more information about what you want to do.
