"How does Fibion Helix address common challenges in heart rate measurement?"

In this episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen explains the innovative features of Fibion Helix, focusing on its patented PPI sensor technology for accurate heart rate and heart rate variability tracking. He highlights how traditional wearables often struggle with motion artifacts, diverse skin tones, and reduced blood flow during physical activity or in cold environments. Fibion Helix overcomes these issues with wear detection, 3-axis motion sensors, and multi-wavelength LEDs that penetrate deeper layers of skin for reliable measurements across all conditions.

Dr. Tikkanen discusses the implications of this technology for research, emphasizing how it ensures inclusivity and data accuracy for dynamic activities and diverse populations. He also explains how signal filtering and cross-validation improve the reliability of readings, making Fibion Helix a robust tool for physical activity and health studies.
