Gorillacell Module 048: Heartbeat Sensor
Table of Contents
Heart Rate Sensor is a device used to measure the number of heartbeats per minute (BPM). It detects the subtle changes in blood flow caused by each heartbeat, allowing accurate pulse rate monitoring.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with a Heart Rate Sensor module powered by the MAX30102 chip. The MAX30102 is an integrated Pulse Oximetry and Heart Rate Monitor that uses infrared and red LEDs along with a photodetector to measure heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) non-invasively.
