Wearable Biosensors

Hack health data. Interface with PPG, ECG, and Accelerometers to build health monitoring apps and algorithms.

Your watch knows your heart rate. This course teaches the engineering behind wearables. You will understand the physics of PPG (optical heart rate) and ECG (electrical heart) sensors. Learn to process raw sensor data to calculate Heart Rate Variability (HRV), sleep stages, and step counts. We cover Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) profiles for health devices and data privacy standards (HIPAA) for health apps. Build the next generation of digital health tools.
