Hi All,<br><br>Awesome progress! Glad to see someone else moving forward on this. I've been down for a few weeks due to medical procedures and my education but I'm very eager to collaborate on this effort. I'll keep in touch and I should be back to part time devel soon enough.<br>
<br>Best wishes,<br>Ian Daniher<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 5:43 PM, Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero <<a href="mailto:dirakx@gmail.com">dirakx@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi all. <br><br>This is a really cool work, for what i see from youtube's video the circuit is very simple, a voltage adapter and some opAmps for filtering and gaining purposes..<br>(Although seems that the signal needs some more work, because it is not showing the exact EKG waveform)<br>
<br><br>i would love to see the circuit diagram and also a PCB. i think Andrzej could take the diagram and make for himself a prototype that could help him to overcome the hardware part and go straight for the software part, (that is Gsoc mainly focus).<br>

That's fantastic work guys.<div><br></div><div>Please also keep in mind one of the end goals for integrating this into the larger 'health projects picture', namely teleconsultation with health professionals.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We need to create a souped-up version of a teleconference (video-chat) activity for the XO that allows for the parallel transmission (for example in other pop-up windows) of additional information/communication: the display of this telemetry data from EKG's, the ability to pop-up text, graphics & images on the other screen, perhaps programming features that come from 'collaborative editing' type software, etc...</div>
<div><br></div><div>It is so wonderful to see all this stuff moving forwards, and it is my great privilege to get to work with you all on this. I really wish I could come to the Seattle Health Jam, but alas have no money for travel.</div>

<div> </div> <div>This is a great video, thanks for posting it!</div> <div><br>Could you please post the link for the wiki page detailing the circuit details etc, There are many people who would like to try this out! (some cced here -- Ian, Mel.....)</div>
<div> </div> <div>Also, itd be interesting to start thinking if you would like to build a customized UI for displaying information. Perhaps something derived off the basic Measure code ? I'd be glad to help you use the Measure code base and customize it according to your need. Feel free to post questions on or off list. (sugar might be a good list to cc on such discussions)</div>
<div> </div> <div>Another idea that I'd like to mention would be to apply such information into the context of a game, i.e. control events/characters in a game on the XO based on such input, that can make the process of personal health monitoring fun ? </div>
<div> </div> <div><br>The Health mailing list is a perfectly fine for posting such information. Also, there is a Health Jam coming up soon in April. You might like to connect with Mel, Seth.... to demo your prototype there if possible!</div>

I might not think that GSoC is the best forum for a hardware focused effort, but there is a great deal of DSP-related software projects you could develop around the HW efforts that we currently have going. In particular, there are already two ECG efforts so I'm not certain that another EKG monitor prototype would be much value added. Ian is trying to work on a USB approach while my team out here in Cali has been working on the MIC IN approach. I haven't been able to participate in the teleconferences so I'm not sure where the USB approach stands on progress. My team has already developed our first prototype which operates with either a USB or 9V battery source. You can see a demo video below:<br>
<br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1QKTKAAug4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1QKTKAAug4</a><br><br>The amplifier circuit also doubles as an EMG. You can take an electrode and place it on the forearm and flex to see the muscle activity reflected in the waveform. Of course tuning will need to be done for EMG diagnostics but it serves its educational purpose which brings me to my next point. I feel that a handful of the Health participants have fixed their attention towards designing to meet the needs of the clinician and have strayed far from the original focus of this educational project. As an organization, we really need to step out of this "toy and games" mindset and mature a project that impacts the community outside of the classroom. The Health focus is truly one of the primary ways to demonstrate the XO's true potential for the entire community. That said we shouldn't dismiss children as agents of change. There are still many ways we can structure a health project with the kids at the focal point. <br>
<br>Andrzej, I think a great project for you would be a respirometer. I can talk to you in detail how I see this peripheral making a social impact. <br><br>Others, if you are working on a health-related HW effort and have made some tangible progress please send me a private message. I would love to collaborate with you. <br>
My intent for this email was not to flame the Health group but rather to motivate others to re-direct their focus to help us gain some traction on an effort that is slowly losing its credibility. <br> <div> <div></div> <div>

can/could be able to build and EKG hardware prototype, but he would need a<br> mentor to do and extension to Measure or an specific activity to<br>interpret and capture the EKG bio-signal.<br><br>Anyone interested in be his mentor for Gsoc?<br>
