Life Metrics Click is MIKROE’s latest addition to its growing lineup of biometrics-focused Click board™ modules, designed to simplify the development of advanced health and wearable applications. Known for its rapid prototyping ecosystem, MIKROE continues to streamline embedded design with compact add-on boards that take projects from concept to deployment faster.
With Life Metrics Click, developers get a versatile platform for multi-parameter vital sign monitoring, making it well-suited for wearable devices, biomedical systems, and health-focused embedded applications.
At the core of the board is the AS7058A multi-vital sign analog front-end from ams OSRAM, paired with the SFH 7074 optical sensor. This combination enables a broad set of measurements, including photoplethysmography (PPG), electrocardiogram (ECG), bioelectrical impedance (BioZ), and electrodermal activity (EDA).
Additional sensing capabilities round out the platform, with temperature monitoring handled by the AS6223A and motion tracking via the LIS2DH12 three-axis accelerometer.
Dedicated ECG connectors, interrupt signaling, a low-noise 1.8V architecture, and bidirectional level shifting ensure stable performance and straightforward integration over an I2C interface.
Life Metrics Click joins MIKROE’s extensive portfolio of mikroBUS™-enabled boards, now numbering over 1,975. It also supports the ClickID feature, allowing host systems to automatically detect and configure the board.
Combined with support for the mikroSDK open-source libraries, the platform gives developers a flexible starting point for evaluation, prototyping, and customization.
