From the video description

Four attempts. Three failures. One working board. In this episode, I'm walking you through every single prototyping attempt I made before finally getting a working muscle sensor - including the $1,000 mistake that turned into an expensive coaster. - Attempt #1: Silicon Witchery Board Started with an open-source NRF52840 board designed for ECG. Had everything I needed - battery management, charging, the right microcontroller. But customizing the firmware from ECG to EMG took way longer than expected. Too complex for early stage.
