MobilECG Business Card

card_ecg

Unlike the heart rate monitors included on smartwatches and fitness trackers that use an LED and a tiny optical sensor to detect a wearer’s pulse, the MobilECG business card features two conductive finger pads to measure the electrical currents generated by the muscles in the heart.

As the card clearly states, it’s not quite accurate enough to be used to diagnose a heart problem, but imagine what an impression a doctor would make if this was the business card they handed out to patients.

Want one of your own? The creators are gauging public interest in the device on their site, which they expect to only cost around $29 once it’s mass produced. Expensive for a business card, for sure, but not too pricey as a novelty and example of brilliant miniature engineering.

RIP Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011)

In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula and others designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series.

From such humble beginings, a legend was born… Jobs was the driving force behind the Macintosh (seeing potential in the mouse-driven GUI); founded NeXT after leaving Apple; aquired a little Lucasfilm’s computer graphics division (which became Pixar), and returned to Apple and become CEO.  When Pixar was aquired by Disney, he became Disney’s largest individual shareholder ever.
