PPG Heart Rate And Blood Oxygen Sensor Module With Integrated Processing And I2C UART Interface

The Fermion MAX30102 PPG Heart Rate and Oximeter Sensor V2.0 is a compact biometric sensing module designed for accurate heart rate and blood oxygen saturation monitoring. Built around the Maxim MAX30102 optical sensor and an onboard microcontroller, the module uses PhotoPlethysmoGraphy (PPG) technology to measure pulse rate and SpO2 levels. Integrated signal processing and embedded algorithms allow the module to directly output processed heart rate and blood oxygen data, significantly reducing the computational burden on the host microcontroller.
Designed for wearable devices, health monitoring systems, fitness equipment, and IoT applications, the module supports both I2C and UART communication interfaces for flexible integration. The onboard processing capability simplifies development by eliminating the need for complex signal analysis and algorithm implementation on the main controller. Its compact breakout-board design makes it suitable for rapid prototyping as well as commercial product development.
