User Guide 

UG6780; Rev 2; 8/19 

 

Abstract 

This user guide provides information about preparing and running the MAXREFDES101# Health 
Sensor  Platform.  This  platform  uses  several  biosensors,  power-management  ICs  (PMIC),  and 
microcontrollers  from  Maxim  Integrated

®

  in  a  wrist  worn  design  that  allows  the  capture  of 

biosignals  important  to  healthcare.  The  platform  also  contains  algorithms  for  calculating  heart 
health based on the biosensor measurements.
