I don't know if the point of this is quite medical. The words "recreational electrocardiograph usage" don't make sense right now -- but they might, given a $110 one you can throw into a junk drawer when you're not using it.
>Fed up with the unreasonably high price, cumbersome design, and dishonest distribution practices of clinical ECG machines, I decided to create mobilECG, a clinical ECG that is different.
Maybe one day we'll see some more open sourced sophisticated equipment, which are not only portable, but also reasonably priced and better designed.
An ECG is a step beyond that, but I can see it being super cool to play with, and who knows what sort of ideas you could come up with! I know at this price, I'll definitely get one.
