The ProtoCentral AFE4490 Pulse Oximeter Shield brings the same TI AFE4490 single-chip pulse-oximetry analog front end as our breakout — in an Arduino-shield form factor that plugs straight onto an Arduino Uno R3 / R4 with no jumper wires. Read SpO2 and heart rate from the included Nellcor-compatible finger probe in minutes.

Pulse oximetry is an indirect, non-invasive method of measuring oxygen saturation. The probe shines red and infrared light through a fingertip and measures the light absorbed by haemoglobin — the ratio between the two wavelengths gives SpO2, and the same waveform’s pulsatile component gives heart rate without any ECG electrodes. For background reading, see How Equipment Works — Pulse Oximetry.

The shield is fully open-source — schematic, layout, and Arduino library all live in our GitHub repository (library) and the shield hardware repo. It’s compatible with the ProtoCentral OpenView unified visualization app for live waveform plotting on Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Important: This is a development and prototyping board for SpO2 research and education only. It is not a medical device and must not be used for clinical diagnosis or patient monitoring.
