Heart Rate click, MIKROE-2000, MikroElektronika

Heart Rate click is a heart rate monitoring and pulse oximetry measuring Click board™. It features an advanced oximeter and heart rate monitoring sensor, which relies on two integrated LEDs, a photosensitive element, and a very accurate and advanced low noise analog front end, to provide clean and accurate readings. It is enough to place an index finger on a top of the sensor to get both of the heart rate and blood oxygen saturation via the I2C interface. Features, such as the Ambient Light Cancellation (ALC) and the discrete time filters, ensure that no ambient light or 50/60Hz hum is interfering with the readings.

One of the more important features of this device is its low power consumption: it is possible to put the device into the Standby mode, where it consumes a very low amount of power. All those features make this Click board™ an ideal solution for various heart-rate and SpO2 related applications, as well as the development of new algorithms for reading blood parameters based on the red and infra-red absorbance properties of the human body, mainly for the arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR).
