I'm a electric engineer of Semiconductor and want to share with you about m y new idea using a smart device.
I have a interesting idea for new product and design. What do you think of below idea for new product? Appreciate your feedback i f you are interest in my idea and design.
-Offering idea-
The concept of the device is that it checks one?s health condition daily such as blood pressure, heartbeat frequency and body temperature if we wear it as bracelet or watch. It has only alarm function with LED and sends the data to private smart phone or tablet PC daily. And then we could monitor and keep on eyes on our health condition daily.
What do you think of this idea? You can see the mockups ans picture at below site

How is a bracelet going to measure blood pressure?
A fulltime BP logger would be a great product, but I can't think of a practical way to do it.

check out a company [may not exist any longer] called Vivimetrics. Their whole product line addressed EXACTLY the type function you're describing. From memory, their product line was to help attending physicians to monitor: simple ekg, pulse rate, blood pressure, temperature, three degrees of motion [want to see how active the patient is], breathing rate, lung volume, and optional oximeter measurment. The portable device on the patient communicated wireless to a home monitoring station that could then communicate via phone line to dump info at physicians' office. Also, if the portable monitoring went out of range, it switched to GSM cell towers to keep in touch, so 24/7 monitoring/linkage was possible. And of course 'alarm' conditions coud be set to check if any biomeasurement went out of some set range.

Good question! Do that without a cuff and you're a millionaire. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
It's been done before in sports medicine and you're doing it wrong.
There are also others working on the same idea:
See Arthur C Clarke's story "The Fountains of Paradise" where the principal character carries such a device, that advises him that he's about to have a heart attack, and suggests that he slow down. In the end, he does have a heart attack the "CORA" device broadcasts a loud request for assistance. Foundit: Pg 75, section 33.
All wrong. Temperature in the extremeties is very different from core temperature. Same with many other external points of connection. If you must measure temperature externally, do it around the head, where the bulk of the body heat is radiated. There are LCD strip thermometers that change color with temperature that are applied to the forehead.
Heartbeat frequency, also known as pulse rate, is a good thing to know. However, what would be much more interesting is a proper ECG recording, where the heart waveforms can be analyzed in real time and anomalies detected, recorded, and alerts issued. You can't tell much from just the pulse rate. At least here, you can use external sensors, but you won't like the arrangement:
Blood pressure requires a cuff. Whether you're using the auscultatoric or oscillometric methods, a cuff is required. Note that you can do the measurement at the ankle, where a cuff might be less obtrusive. There are various schemes to measure blood pressure by proxy, but I'm too lazy to find them. BP also varies wildly depending on body position, exercise, condition, diet, attitude, stress, etc. The only way to get meaningful readings is to measure it under exactly the same conditions every time. That's not easy.
Recording health statisics is more than BP, pulse, and temp. I've been recording my BP, pulse, weight, blood oxygenation, drug intake, hrs sleep, results of various medical tests, etc for about 12 years. It would be nice to have all this data collected automatically, but at this time, I don't see how it can be done with a single device. At best, it would be an array of devices, each talking to a central data dumpster via wireless.
Badly researched, badly conceived, lack of medical input, overly ambitious, impractical, probably too expensive for a consumer product.
Good luck and please get some input from medical professionals.

Every time I go to my Dr's office, they measure my BP with a bracelet device which stores the info. It does the same thing as other measurement devices (pump air and etc) but it surrounds the wrist rather than the upper arm. They walk away and come back later to look at the results.
Thought you'd like to know my experience concerning this.

Tried, no luck. Well, you could stick a capillary into an artery.
Does anybody make a watchband BP monitor? The wrist BP gadgets that I see are still big pressure cuffs.

With all due respect, please use your imagination.
I cannot wear a watch because any watchband constricts my blood flow, causing my hand to go numb. So,it is possible to have a bracelet that (slightly) presses on one of the arteries to get pulse (easy part) and with a MEMS pressure gauge, BP might be derivable.

That is EXACTLY the device i was referring to in my first response.

My father wore one of these for a while...

to determine the cause of his tachycardia.
He transmitted the information daily via modem to Jewish Hospital, Louisville, KY:

Turned out that his heart's "555" timer was defective >:-}
So they clipped all his "wiring" and he was dependent totally on a pacemaker for timing. ...Jim Thompson

You could probably get an actual health improvement by walking daily for
30 minutes or so, rather than sit for the same time and analyse the results of such a device.

Hello Syd.
Thanks for your question. The measuring contents might be modified. It just one of contents related to healthcare. I will narrow down to limit.

Hello Robert.
Thanks for your reply. I have to visit that site and need research it.
What do you think the function you mentioned merge with smart device such a s ipad, iphone? measuring value and transfer the data to smart device daily . And some apps make the graph or valuable form using a transfered data.

Hello I'm not a millionaire.
I just want to hear feedback or some reaction from you guys about the idea as crowdsourcing. Innovation result always comes from various imagination
