Thus, they entered a heart rate sensor to our 2025 One Hertz Challenge! The build is based around a Wemos D1 mini, a ESP8266 development board.

The mobile phone comes with a pulse scanner located on the navigation button. The user simply places his thumb on the scanner to detect the heart rate or blood pressure.

Why engineers are working to build better pulse oximeters Devices that measure oxygen levels in the blood don’t work as well in people with dark skin. Researchers want to change that.

The new SFH 7060 sensor from Osram Opto Semiconductors is designed to measure pulse rates and the oxygen saturation level of blood.
