HealthyPi v4 is a HAT for the Raspberry Pi, as well as a standalone device that can measure human vital signs that are useful in medical diagnosis and treatment. HealthyPi v4 sets a new standard in open source health solutions with mobility, wireless and wearable capabilities. This device presents a snapshot of the user’s medical condition within his/her environment and opens up medical research possibilities.
HealthyPi v4 measures the following parameters in real-time and with high accuracy:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) data, heart rate, and heart-rate variability
- Respiration based on impedance pneumography
- Pulse oximetry (SPO₂)
- Body temperature
HealthyPi v4 is affordable and accessible and the open source aspect means that it’s easy to expand on.
You can now purchase a HealthyPi v4 from Crowd Supply

Ports and interfaces
- On / Off Switch : Powering the HealthyPi v4
- USB-CDC : On-board USB-TO-UART converter
- 2x Sparkfun QWIIC: I2C compatible ports for interfacing any QWIIC based sensors and actuators
- Sliding switch : Transition between two different modes(HPi3 mode and Wearable mode).
- On-board 3 LED : Power indication and Modes indication
- Push-button : Switching between Communication Protocols (BLE and Wi-Fi/Web server)
Multiple operating modes, no programming required
Wearable mode
The device communicates to android app via BLE. The real time vital signs (heart rate, respiration rate, spo2 and body temperature, histogram, heart rate variability) along with device battery level can be monitored from the Android mobile application. Additionally, you can also view live streaming of ECG. Added on-board power source (Battery) enhances the device to be used in a complete wearable platform. This mode also contains the HealthyPi Webserver.The HealthyPi v4 webserver page displays live monitoring of physiological data. Additionally with added on OTA updates feature, you can easily update the firmware in minutes.
The HealthyPi Connect mobile App is now available for download from the Google Play Store as well as the Apple App Store
Raspberry Pi “HAT” mode (HealthyPi v3 compatible)
Using the Raspberry Pi as its computing and display platform, the HealthyPi v4 add-on HAT turns the Raspberry Pi into a vital sign monitoring system, fully compatible with HealthyPi 3.The included GUI displays ECG, respiration and PPG waveforms and their calculated rate values along with temperature can be streamed live through Raspberry Pi display or Computer monitor depending on the user’s choice. The user can also record the data for research and analysis.
