OB1203SD-BT-EVK
Integrated Context Engine for Heart Rate and Blood Oxygen Saturation measurement with BLE
The Integrated Context Engine (ICE) for Biosensing
(see Figure 2) includes:
Renesas OB1203 reflective photoplethysmography
(PPG), proximity (PS) and light / color (LS/CS)
sensor
Telink's TLSR8258F512 micro controller with
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio
LiPo's LP201030 rechargeable Li ion battery, 3.7
V, 40mAh, 10

[1] Light and color sensing function not used in this application.
The ICE hardware performs reflective, non-invasive
measurements (e.g., at the fingertip), transmits the data
via BLE to a smartphone or tablet (see Figure 1), where
the Heart Rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation
(SpO
) are determined by an Android app. During this
2
process the proximity sensor function keeps the
measurement running as long as there is a finger
present.

    OB1203SD-BT-EVK Evaluation Kit Manual 2. Sensor Function Figure 3 shows the principal of a reflective measurement. In this case the sensor is located under a cover glass that uses black and IR transmissive ink to visibly hide the PCB / sensor module. Light from the sensor module’s LED is reflected from the finger tissue and detected by the photo diode.
