Master the essentials of embedded systems development for wearables, from setting up your development environment to building robust drivers for key hardware modules. Learn how to interface with advanced sensors and prepare for real-time health data acquisition.

This course guides learners through the practical aspects of embedded systems engineering for wearable devices. You'll set up your development tools, write drivers for communication protocols like UART, SPI, and I2C, and interface with essential hardware components. The course then delves into integrating the MAX30102 pulse oximetry sensor, providing the skills needed to capture and process physiological signals in real time. By completing this course, you'll be able to develop and test the core hardware interfaces that power modern smartwatches. Through detailed walkthroughs and structured explanations, the course emphasizes practical understanding of embedded driver development and sensor integration, ensuring learners can confidently build and troubleshoot wearable device modules. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey. This course is based on Wearable Innovations: Engineering Smartwatches from Scratch, by Israel Gbati.
