Measuring Heart Rate and Blood Oxygen Saturation with Arduino UNO: High Accuracy!

Measuring Heart Rate and Blood Oxygen Saturation with Arduino UNO: High Accuracy!

This project uses an Arduino UNO board connected to the MAX30102 module (pulse oximeter and heart rate monitoring module), along with an OLED display and a buzzer for BPM measurement. BPM stands for “beats per minute”, which is about 65-75 for a normal person at rest, and may drop below this during sports activities. SpO2 … Read more
