To determine blood oxygen (arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)) and pulse rate, many biosensors use the reflectance of red and infrared (and sometimes green) light. Based on photoplethysmography (PPG), an optical technique that measures blood volume variations, dual-wavelength PPG pulse oximeters noninvasively measure/calculate the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2). An oximeter transmits radiation at a known […]

Video Teardown: Inside the Apple watch sport model
Though most of the Apple watch electronics are inaccessible because they sit within a 26 by 28-mm motherboard that’s overmolded with a special packaging compound, we were still able to discern a number of interesting features on the watch, including its use of a taptic engine and a special display light sensor.
