I haven't downloaded this yet, but I certainly will. If it is accurate and reasonably precise (yea, what does that mean?), I'd like to have it running in the background, gathering data as I work, while also gathering statistics about my work. I, like most of the people here, am a productivity junky. I wonder if a heightened pulse could indicate mounting stress, which necessitates a break. Sure, I have other machinery that could indicate mounting stress -- like my mind -- but the quantitative, off-loaded metric shifts responsibility in a way that could be helpful. "I'm not really stressed," says me to my brain. "No, your heart rate is quite high," says my computer to me.
- evan_ 13y agoYou could get better results with a Bluetooth pulse monitor.
- mkopinsky 13y agoThat probably requires wearing something, potentially on your finger. Webcam is much less intrusive.
- evan_ 13y agoTypically a chest strap but yeah no disagreements here, it would be less convenient.
- shabble 13y agoTurns out that the fingertip pulse oximeter[1] I have works surprisingly well on a toe. Probably only applicable if you work from home though. [1] http://www.nonin.com/OEMSolutions/WristOx2-Model-3150-OEM http://www.nonin.com/OEMSolutions/WristOx2-Model-3150-OEM
