The Herald Project has opensource designs for eHealth wearables. We're often asked for a testbed or reference implementation. Some have asked this be a final, ready to use, 'Pro' unit. Others have asked for a hackable maker's kit, or an eHealth innovation kit.
We'd like YOU to help us design such a future wearable maker's kit. Please add comments on this issue and let us know if you'd like to make your own eHealth wearable. There are many things this could be used for:-
- Developing disease risk models (Like I do for COVID-19!)
- Monitoring your own heart rate, blood oxygenation, and skin temperature
- Monitor your physical activity - step counters, or GPS loggers
- Track how much UV light your skin is exposed to and advise about topping up sunscrean
- Build a healthy lifestyle watch with apps using a kit
- A STEM activity kit and lessons for school on medicine, science, maths, engineering and coding
- In a beacon format, create a Bluetooth MESH Internet of Things (IoT) network for your laboratory, house, or garden! For 'Where's my Syringe Pusher?' style apps in hospitals, or to design a 'Smart Hospital' device yourself!
- Many more!
Take a look at our existing v1 wearable designs in this repo, and explained at the below link, and provide us with feedback!

Please let us know:-
- What you'd use it for
- What features / sensors / extension boards you'd like to use
- How much you think you'd like to spend (realistically please! We're an impoverished opensource project!)
- How popular you think your idea would be and why
Thank you all for your help!
