Signals measured

For research that needs the unprocessed signal

When the signal itself matters more than a finished metric, you can start your method from the data before filtering

01

Algorithm development

Design and validate your own filtering, peak detection, and feature extraction.

02

Biosignal education

Work hands-on with PPG and IMU principles, noise characteristics, and preprocessing.

03

Custom prototypes

Connect the board to your instruments and systems to test feasibility quickly.

The essentials a research board needs, and nothing more

It covers what a measurement board must do and leaves the rest to your design

An affordable starting point

Priced so that research and teaching setups can run several units at once.

High-precision simultaneous capture

Captures PPG and IMU in one stream at a lossless 50 Hz.

Design you can adapt

Connects flexibly to the instruments and software you already use.

Components on the VitalTrack board — PPG sensor, MCU and BLE, 9-axis IMU, USB-C, touch pins, display and battery connectors, reset switch
The PPG sensor and a 9-axis IMU sit on one board, and the MCU sends over BLE 5.0. USB-C carries both charging and communication; the display and battery attach by connector.

See PPG and movement on the same time axis

VitalTrack does not interpret the signal for you. PPG and a 9-axis IMU are delivered unfiltered at a lossless 50 Hz, so you can judge the relationship between movement and waveform yourself.

Five steps from sensor board to your own device

Validate the raw data with the board alone, then add the modules and system integration your prototype needs

  1. 01

    Select the board

    Confirm the PPG and IMU signals and your development goal.

  2. 02

    Connect power and modules

    Use USB-C or a battery, with an optional display module.

  3. 03

    Connect an app or SDK

    Stream measurements to your app or development environment over BLE 5.0.

  4. 04

    Inspect raw data

    Validate the PPG and nine-axis IMU timeline and file structure.

  5. 05

    Build the prototype

    Design the enclosure and functionality for your research device or service.
