    That looks like an Pulse Sensor Amped.

    I used one with my Adafruit Flora.

    I'm not really into prototyping with conductive thread so I soldered on cut female header pins to my wearable board.  You can even take some ribbon cable to break out into a female header row.  It makes it so much easier to build without using aligator clips slipping on the board and much neater using headered jumpers or real wire to a breadboard.  The 3 pins that come out of the sensor are data, +power and GND.  I am not sure if the part you have is for 5v logic or works on 3volts, not familiar with what the lilypad takes.

     

    There is a help forum for the Pulse Sensor Amped by its manufacturer and some other discussion at Adafruit.com forums.  I do not have a lilypad but I had to get help on why the product did not work on the Flora(leonardo arduino variant) because of compatibility TIMER issues resolved with some coding changes.

    Look up the lilypad MIT High Lowtech support group site to see if they got it interfaced with the lilypad and the sample code.  Good luck.
