This advanced ESP32 kit lets you build a custom wearable that uses dual near-infrared LEDs and photodiodes to extract photoplethysmography (PPG) waveform features those shifts leave behind-without a traditional continuous glucose monitor. You'll design a multi-wavelength optical front-end, sample weak biosignals, and train your own algorithms to correlate PPG dynamics with metabolic trends seen during training, recovery, and competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fully functional finger-worn optical sensor module streaming raw PPG data to the ESP32.
