Quoted:
What the Fuck is a "Crowd Sourcing (two words) Experiment"? Something not likely to go well in GD, I would say. I actually just changed that, as I realized that trying to do something like this isn't necessarily an experiment. The "experiment" part of it is trying to find people with the specific backgrounds to help answer the questions or wish to contribute. I'm not trying to trivialize the act of helping others, but understand if it appeared as such. ETA: Or did you get wrapped around the axle over mis-defining the phrase "crowd sourcing" in the context of implanted tracker devices? |

Quoted:
There are a number of existing heart rate monitors that interface with your iPhone, mostly for use in exercise and running Awesome, I hadn't even considered that. I wonder if anyone's taken anything from the athletic side of this stuff and applied it to healthcare & military? (I get that hospitals have heart monitors, and that your grandma can push a button on her LifeAlert, but something that works automatically, runs through your cellphone, and is user-adjustable in how it responds) |

| Its absolutely possible ,The tech is not the problem. It would be the price. Before my father passed he invented a bracelet for people with medical conditions that stored all there info on a micro chip in case they were unable to inform doctors of conditions. It was very expensive though. |

This is a great example of what's out there now, what it does, how it works, and how big a footprint have they crammed it into. While their focus appears to be on accuracy, I'm wondering if you could broaden that requirement to simply show whether someone is absolutely dead, alive, or possibly under great duress, if that might allow you to make something less precise, cheaper, and smaller. |
