Getting this data out of the sensor is remarkably easy. One need only hook it up to a suitable microcontroller like the ESP8266 and use the MAX3010X library to talk to it.

Say, you’re starting your electronics journey with a few projects in mind. You have an ESP8266 board like the Wemos D1, a Li-Ion battery, you want to build a small battery-powered sensor that… ...

Optical Pulse Sensor Market: Rising adoption of wearable devices to drive growth Rising disposable income and rapid internet penetration have increased the adoption of smartphones worldwide.

Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive means for measuring blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate, with typical sensors based on rigid electronics. Here, the authors develop a pulse oximeter based ...

A basic microcontroller can be used to convert a sensor's analog output into a pulse train, thereby making the output compatible with standard digital I/O ports.

The new SFH 7060 sensor from Osram Opto Semiconductors is designed to measure pulse rates and the oxygen saturation level of blood.

As the FDA convenes a meeting to discuss racial disparities in pulse oximetry, BioIntelliSense is getting a head start on addressing the issue.

The ITC levied the import ban in October, siding with Masimo in its claims that the Apple Watch’s built-in blood oxygen sensor infringes on Masimo’s own light-based pulse oximetry technology.

Garmin has been making serious strides to provide more details on sleep quality and this latest activity tracker includes four sleep stages along with blood oxygen saturation gauging.
