About The Project
The H-Watch is a fully open-sourde wearable long-lasting smart monitoring platform for health monitoring and tracking. Thanks to the integrated state-of-the-art NB-IoT cellular technology, it provides direct and secure cloud connectivity. It is based on widely available off-the-shelf components; however, it is designed with low-power and on-board intelligence in mind. Experimentalresults demonstrated only 5.9 mW of average power consumption, leading to a lifetime of 9 days on a small watch battery wothout, and up to 20 days with the solarenergy harvester.
Hardware
Components
The H-Watch is a highly integrated multi-sensor wearable platform which is built of the key components, listed below:
- MAX30101EFD+, High-Sensitivity Pulse Oximeter and Heart-Rate Sensor for Wearable Health
- LSM303AGR, Ultra-compact high-performance eCompass module
- LPS22HB, MEMS nano pressure sensor
- LSM6DSM, Ultra-low power, high accuracy and stability iNEMO 6DoF inertial measurement unit (IMU)
- MP34DT05-A, MEMS audio sensor omnidirectional stereo digital microphone
- BQ25570, Ultra Low power Harvester power Management IC with boost charger, and Nanopower Buck Converter
- STM32WB55RG, Ultra-low-power dual core Arm Cortex-M4, Cortex-M0+ with 1 Mbyte of Flash memory, Bluetooth LE 5.2
- BC95GJB-02-STD, Multi-band NB-IoT Module with Ultra-low Power Consumption
The H-Watchs housing, as well as its energy-saving memory LCD display, was taken from the Matrix Power Watch series 1.
PCB
The H-Watchs printed circuit board (PCB) is built of 6 Layers with a total board thichness of only 0.83mm. Further informations about the PCB can be found here:
