As a child I have always been fascinated at how EKGs can audialize and visualize the beat of someone's life, and since my family has to routinely measure my bedridden grandmother's vitals, I was inspired to design an EKG for educational purposes with a 3D printed heart that "pumps" to the beat of the user's heart, during this project I also experimented with various MQTT clients (see image below). This project also incorporates sustainability and upcycling by using single use chopsticks, straws, and skewers.
This system is such a great concept, not only is it practical for home use as it shows our real-time vitals in the web/app viewer, but it's also a fantastic educational kit for students to learn about human biology, electronics, coding etc. We are pleased to have invited Bo Shih to teach our students this fun maker project.
