Comments on: Low-cost Heart Rate Monitor for XO-1 http://blog.laptop.org/2009/04/08/low-cost-heart-rate-monitor/ Stories from around the world Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:11:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ryan Alletag http://blog.laptop.org/2009/04/08/low-cost-heart-rate-monitor/comment-page-1/#comment-6877 Ryan Alletag Mon, 19 Apr 2010 03:49:43 +0000 http://blog.laptop.org/?p=514#comment-6877 I am a college student involved in a program that does project based learning. Our current project is to help a member of the campus dance program create a show in which the music and lightning synced with her heart beat. The problem we have run into is transmitting a live feed from the body sensor to the computer. I was curious about what I read where you inputed your signal through the audio jack. Do you have a product that we could purchase that sends a live feed through the audio jack as an audio stream? Also, if you are looking for research or aid developing your product, you could speak with our coordinator to use the Universities resources. Many groups come to us with ideas and allow us as part of our education to expand on their concepts and create presentations or demonstrations to help the growth of their project.

After being in the ER, I asked for a new little finger adapter, and was hoping to make something like this, so I plan on trying the XOExplosion parts kit (when available and can afford it) and some other stuff/ideas like for biking health and safety/ learning physiology, etc...

While they do have equipment for the 64 Slice MDCT Angiography etc. where tests can be expensive catering to those who can afford such tests......he does feel that we can do a lot for poorer people in rural areas who can avoid the cost and inconvenience of travelling long distances, if we can set up a facility to record some basic health data and transmit it electronically. The XO seems to have the potential for a low cost Telemedicine solution fitted with the device you talk of. The foundation has a small fund for research and I wonder if there is anyway to take this forward. Could we have a small team do a test and set up a pilot project here. These are dedicated doctors with adequate infrastructure facilities, a lot of medical and nursing colleges in the vicinity and a needy population segment.

I like the program and what it stands for. I am a one man shop and may be able to help in a small way. Something to consider if applicable.
