Explore the landscape of digital health and the foundational science behind wearable health monitoring. Understand the principles and challenges of integrating health sensors into modern devices.

This course introduces the evolution of digital health, the significance of health biomarkers, and the technologies driving wearable innovation. Learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of how digital health measures are used in clinical and personal settings, the challenges faced in their adoption, and the core science behind photoplethysmography (PPG) as the basis for heart rate and SpO2 tracking. By the end, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to appreciate and evaluate wearable health solutions. The course combines clear explanations, real-world examples, and step-by-step breakdowns of key concepts to build a strong theoretical foundation for wearable health technology. This course is part one 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.
