The Heart Rate 8 Click Board™ is an optical biosensor, designed for heart-rate monitoring (HRM). This Click Board™ employs a specialised sensor that incorporates three LED drivers and two photo-sensing elements, sensitive to green and IR light. The green light is most commonly used to measure the dilatation of the blood vessels; therefore, the Heart Rate 8 Click Board™ is equipped with two green LEDs, which are driven by the BH1792GLC, a monolithic integrated sensor for heart rate monitoring, and the additional IR LED, used to detect a finger touch. The Heart Rate 8 Click Board™ is a perfect solution for the development of various wearable health-related devices, smartphones, tablets, and similar space-constrained applications.
It comes in a package that also includes the mikroSDK software and a library with all the functions. The Click Board™ comes as a fully tested and approved prototype, making it a reliable device ready to use on the development board.
