Newert's VitalTrack - PPG&Motion is hardware that simultaneously measures PPG, accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer signals.
The board measures PPG signals at a 50 Hz sampling rate using reflective photoplethysmography.
The motion sensors also provide a 50 Hz sampling rate.
Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 enables data collection on multiple operating systems, including Android and iOS.
VitalTrack is a sensor board for monitoring biosignals and motion simultaneously.
VitalTrack is designed to help users build custom biosignal measurement devices.Recommended measurement site: For a clear signal, use a peripheral site such as a finger.
VitalTrack - PPG&Motion monitors biosignals and motion simultaneously in real time. Its primary purpose is to provide Raw Data to researchers and developers.
PPG (Photoplethysmography) sensor
IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor
The PPG sensor detects changes in blood flow, while the IMU sensor collects motion data. This Raw Data can support a wide range of research and development applications, and an SDK is provided for customization.
(Supports Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux)

VitalTrack - PPG&Motion does not require optional modules such as a battery or display.
All VitalTrack - PPG&Motion functions are available using the sensor board alone.
Connecting a battery and display provides the following conveniences.
Connect a Battery
With a battery connected, measurements can be performed wirelessly over Bluetooth without a power cable. Without a battery, the board provides the same functionality when powered through a USB-C cable.
Connect a Display
The connected display shows the remaining battery level, current time, and heart rate.
For detailed instructions on connecting the sensor board, battery, and display, refer to the product manual.
