Frequently Asked Questions

What does MAX30102 stand for?

The MAX30102 sensor is a specialist sensor made for measuring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate in people. It emits and detects light using LEDs and photodiodes, and analyzes that light to calculate the wearer's SpO2 and heart rate.

What is SpO2?

The level of blood oxygen saturation is measured by SpO2, also known as peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. Typically, a pulse oximeter or specialized sensor like the MAX30102 are used to measure it.

The heart rate is what?

The amount of times the heart beats in a minute is known as heart rate. It can be assessed with a pulse oximeter or specialized sensor like the MAX30102 and is a crucial sign of cardiovascular health.
