This article delves into the principles of heart rate sensors using PPG technology, highlighting its application in measuring blood oxygen levels in capillaries and offering insights into non-medical usage and measurement tips.

Principle

The heart rate sensor is based on the PPG(photo plethysmo graphy) technology, a convenient and low-cost technology that can be applied to the detection of the amount of blood oxygen in the subcutaneous capillaries to detect the corresponding human heart rate. The technology features quick response, stable performance and high adaptability.

Other Supplementary Information

Note:

  • Please keep still when using the static heart rate sensor for measurements and do not press it too hard.
  • This product is not a medical device and is not approved for any medical use at all.

There are 4 points you need to pay attention to when using the sensor:

  • The thickness of the cortical layer of your finger will affect the measurement results.
  • Do not press the sensor too hard when detecting.
  • Keep your body still while doing a measurement.
  • The product is not intended for any medical use purpose.
