Discreet Data Collecting Wearable
August 5, 2016 10:42 AM Subscribe
I want to collect as much body data as I can as comfortably and discreetly as possible, what are your recommendations?
I want a wearable that will give me heart rate at a minimum that I can wear all the time. I'm doing this so that I can see how that data correlates with various contemplative practices I have. I don't need a display and I don't need to see the data while it's being collected. I won't always be exercising so it should work even when I'm not sweating (I've tried this with chest sensors a few years ago and they seem to loose connection w/o sweat).
It should export into a CSV or something portable.
GPS location could also be helpful, not required though.
Other measures: Galvanic skin response? Blood pressure? Oxygen levels? I have no idea what I'm talking about really, but am curious to know what's out there. Also possible would be something I could hack/build myself if Arduinos (and their ilk) have such sensors.
Thanks!
