Accessing raw data from heart rate sensor in smart watch

Recently I learned that the raw data from the heart rate optical sensor (what is called PPG signal or Red/IR ) is available for Galaxy S5 devices using the new sensor extension SDK from Samsung, which means that the sensor physically outputs this data. Since the same sensor is used in Gear watches, I'm wondering if there is any way to access this raw data from the watch's sensor running Tizen. I reviewed the Samsung developers site and different forums, but didn't find the way to do it, only to access the heart rate itself. Will appreciate your advises.

Samsung has new data platform (beta): https://developer.samsungsami.io/

 It works only for Simband, doesn't it?

I couldn't find a list of compatible devices tbh:

They also have a twitter account:

You can refer the below link in Documentation tab of this site.

API References > Web Application > Tizen Web Device API Reference > Wearable Web > System > HumanActivityMonitor API

Hi,

Wearable SDK doestn't support such api which can distinguish IR/red sensor seperately. so this data is valid only.

 

 [NoInterfaceObject] interface MotionHRMInfo : MotionInfo {

        readonly attribute long heartRate;

        readonly attribute long rRInterval;
    };

Hello,

Currently you cannot access such data using Wearable API.

You can only get heartRate and rRInterval using HumanActivityMonitor API

I don't know much about it but Samsung also has a new bioinformatics site: http://www.voiceofthebody.io/
