Meta Health heart-rate pulse sensor

famzah

Hello,

I have a few questions about the built-in Meta Health heart-rate pulse sensor:

• Can it measure the heart rate from the wrist when used with the "Meta C Watch Band" ?
• If yes, does it also work when you exercise sport intensively (like tennis/running where you sweat excessively and move a lot) ?
• Does it use up the battery a lot?

Thank you.

Hello,

We are still updating the MetaHealth so keep checking back here for updated specs:
https://store.mbientlab.com/product/meta-health

A lot can change between now and the Q1 2017 release date!

To answer your questions:

• Can it measure the heart rate from the wrist when used with the "Meta C Watch Band" ? Yes
  
• If yes, does it also work when you exercise sport intensively (like tennis/running where you sweat excessively and move a lot) ? It works best when you record your heart rate during your break or post workout. It is an optical sensor so it has to be snug and fit against the wrist.
  
• Does it use up the battery a lot? It is an optical sensor, it works with a green LED so it uses the battery the same way an LED would. You can check the datasheet for exact specs.
  

Thanks,
-Laura
