Twitter Heartbeat Posting Device Akiduki-Pulse

Posted on June 28th, 2009 by Akky Akimoto

Koress Project [J] released an opensource hardware “Akiduki Pulse” [J], which links your pulsebeat and twitter to let your friends and the world know your heartbeat status.

By 3 levels of your heartbeat, three different messages will be post on your twitter account.

  • 30-60: bradycardia now
  • 60-90: alive now
  • 90-140: tachycardia now

There is, eventually, a 4th state and its message but the message has not been tested, as they said.

As it is an opensource project, all diagrams, parts info and firmware are provided on their project page [J]. The kit is also planned to be sold.

    seguir el estado físico de alguien aunque no lo tengas al lado y, curiosamente, si las pulsaciones son cero se produce un efecto tecnológico nuevo … la última acción que haces antes de morirte es postearlo en Twitter.fuenteTwitter para saber si alguien tiene taquicardia

    hen captures data and posts the heart rate as well as a quick evaluation on how you are doing. The system is open source (that includes all the firmware, hardware and other info that might be needed). The downside is that currently it is only available in Japanese. Via:Asiajin
