The MOD-PULSE is an instrument for monitoring the blood oxygenation of a human. By measuring the oxygen level and heart rate, the MOD-PULSE can display the levels of blood oxygenation and heart rate on it's LCD display. To be fully functional the MOD-PULSE requires an external sensor connected to it via the connector on the unit. The MOD-PULSE can be connected to a variety of development boards via it's UEXT connector.
