Optical Pulse Probe

Accessories

Connected to the Shimmer3 GSR+ unit, the optical pulse sensor can provide a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal from a finger, ear-lobe (or other location on the body). Our ConsensysPRO software has a PPG to HR algoritm that allows for a live and/or post processing Heart Rate measurement.
