From Arduino to Final Product

Atmel Raven? The dev kit works nicely. We designed a smart power strip (with metering and switching per outlet) without much hassle.

I saw a very nice circuit from NASA years ago, which very reliable and very low power transmitted a number of temperatures from an animal to a reciever outside a cage. The temperature was encoded in the "OFF" time of the transmittor, and the "ON" time of the transmittor was very short, and seperated the temperatures from each other. So make a oneshot with the skin voltage setting its time,~.1 to 1. sec, and a 20 micro second pulse, to tranmit a HF burst, something like 100MHZ,which can be very reliabley detected. The receiving computer needs only to measure the time. This can easely be extended to a multychannel system.

Would one of these make it easier:

One problem of this approach is that the sensor would work better below the fist, where it is easier to measure heart rate and there is less hair, like this:

Here's the box we did. We built a bunch of these for a startup, for testing the concepts, with the intent to seriously productize it later. The box worked but the company didn't.

We used the Raven dev board in the prototypes. It has digital i/os, ADC inputs, LCD, Bluetooth, and comes with working starter code.

Oh, that's Zigbee, and you want Bluetooth.

We have a similar idea, but probably just one outlet with plug-in adapter. They want multiple plugs all over the house anyway, so, multiple oulets at one place doesn't make much sense. Cost is the issue. It has to be less than $5 BOM.

nputs,

We use the Microchip Raven (PIC32MX/MRF24J40), but the RF circuit is tough to manufacture. Out of 10 prototype boards, 5 doesn't work with RF.

To OP: For watch size, you almost have to do direct die-bonding. Even QFN40 (MRF24J40) or QFN32(ATF86RF) are too big, not to mension the microcontroller and balun circuit.

inputs,

A bigger problem is that Galvanic Skin Response is mostly silly.
