The kardiamobile 6-lead EKG device is down to $100 now, it's rather fascinating to use daily especially if you have heart concerns.
It's actually a very simple device, recording the electrical impulses between the hands and a third point like a knee contact to make six signals which are broadcasted as positive/negative numbers describing the curves/spikes over bluetooth.
It just makes simple small files on the mobile device with those list of numbers, which someone could write a program to intercept and interpret far beyond what they offer for free.
For legal reasons between most device makers and the FDA it appears they are not allowed to diagnose more than a few kinds of arrhythmias like afib but there is no reason why a bio-hacker collective couldn't figure out more automated interpretations.
adding: note you can not only analyze HRV info from EKG but also detect several different kinds of electrolyte disorders (too much or too little of potassium, calcium, magnesium etc)
