A question for all of you hardware hackers out there, is it possible to have a simple bracelet to continuously monitor your heartbeat? something slim and wearable all day long (like the Fitbit flex for example).
I've seen a bracelet where you have to use both hands to get a heartbeat measurement, but I am looking for something that constantly measures the rate, monitors the rhythm, and detects any abnormalities.
I have proposed the idea on quirky.com/invent/677338 - with alernative things you can do with a smart bracelet - but I would love to hear some validation or invalidation about the heartbeat monitoring part of it.
