GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The vital signs monitoring (VSM) watch, EVAL-HCRWATCH4Z, is a
modular development, demonstration, and data collection platform
for high performance vital signs monitoring applications based on
Analog Devices, Inc., analog front ends (AFEs) and sensors.
The VSM watch is a wearable, battery-powered device that enables
the continuous monitoring and on-demand spot check measure-
ment of photoplethysmography (PPG), electrodermal activity (EDA,
bioimpedance-based), skin temperature, electrocardiography (ECG,
biopotential based), and motion/activity (based on a 3‑axis acceler-
ometer).
The VSM watch allows synchronized, multiparameter data storage
on internal memory for later data retrieval and offline analysis
and/or live monitoring on a PC (Windows® OS) or Android- or
iOS-based device.
PREPARING THE VSM WATCH
Before using the VSM watch, proper preparations must be made.
Ensure that the battery of the watch is charged and the VSM Wave-
Tool PC program is installed. See the Powering Up the System
for the First Time section for installation instructions. Upgrade the
watch firmware using the VSM WaveTool.

OVERVIEW
The VSM watch is a modular development, demonstration, and
data collection platform for high performance vital signs monitoring
applications based on Analog Devices analog front ends and sen-
sors.
The platform optimized electrical and mechanical design hosts all
the required circuits to sense, condition, digitize, process, store,
and wirelessly transmit real-time, vital sign related data. This plat-
form does the following:
►Minimizes the risks associated with a new electronic design
►Minimizes the time to market for a new final product
►Facilitates the evaluation of a wide range of Analog Devices
solutions in a single battery-powered wearable ecosystem
►Highlights and addresses the challenges associated with a wear-
able device
►Allows the developer to focus on other added value tasks, such
as algorithm development, and the overall firmware for engineer-
ing and scientific research and validation
This platform is not intended to do the following:
►Act as the final product for a specific application.
►Demonstrate an application-specific optimized design. Trade-offs
were made to allow platform flexibility.
The evaluation platform kit contains the following items (see Figure
9:
►VSM platform (the watch)
►Charging cradle
►USB Type A to micro USB cable
►Firmware debug board
Figure 9. Evaluation Kit Contents
The USB cable is used for the following purposes:
►Recharge the battery via the charging cradle (connecting the
watch to a PC or wall adapter)
►Upgrade the platform firmware (using VSM Wavetool)
►Download data stored in the internal flash memory for offline
data analyses or other purposes
Use the watch only with the USB cable provided.
POWERING UP THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST
TIME
The VSM watch is shipped from the factory in an ultra low power
shipment mode. To exit this power mode, place the watch into the
charging cradle and connect the USB cable to provide power.
Before using the watch for the first time, fully charge the battery by
connecting the VSM watch to a PC or wall adapter using the USB
cable provided.
WATER RESISTANCE
The VSM watch is IP68 rated. Despite this rating, exercise caution
if showering, swimming, or doing any other activity with the VSM
watch that exposes it directly to moisture.
SOFTWARE
For information on the VSM watch software, refer to the VSM watch
software user guide included with the VSM WaveTool (available for
download on the Analog Devices website at www.analog.com).
BLUETOOTH USB PC DONGLE (NRF52840)
The VSM watch platform leverages an off-the-shelf Nordic Semi-
conductor Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) dongle for communicating
wirelessly with a PC (see Figure 10). The nRF52840 is available for
purchase separately through multiple online vendors.
