The MikroElektronika Heart Rate Click Board is an accessory board that provides a simple method of adding heart rate and pulse oximetry measurement hardware to a development platform.

Like all Click Boards the Heart Rate Click fits the popular mikroBUS™ socket, creating a plug-in solution to add functionality, removing the need for hardware configuration.

The Heart Rate Click Board utilises the Maxim MAX30100 Pulse Oximeter and Heart-Rate Sensor IC, optimised to take readings from a fingertip.

The MAX30100 emits red and infrared light from two LEDs into the skin, with the amount absorbed by the capillary blood sensed by a photodetector. The variation of the readings over time indicate the pulsing of blood, therefore the heart rate. Oxygen saturation is also be measured.

The signals gathered are processed by an integral analogue signal processing unit and communicated to the host board via I2C.
