[Health] health project in GSoC 2008

[Arjun Sarwal]

(I should've included some sort of brief link about the link I was
posting...)

from the website..
*The project explores how to make information collected by personal
health-monitoring devices fun and engaging, and consequently more useful to
the non-specialist
*
Also there are complete working designs as well as code resources, of low
cost personal health monitoring devices (including EKG) that might be very
useful. I will try and post a link to specific and relevant sections of the
thesis on the wiki soon...

thanks
Arjun
