- It has an ECG chip integrated
- it shows heart rate in real-time
- is shows respiration rate in real-time
- it can be used as a Raspberry Pi hat which is great, but also as a standalone device
- it has LSL support
- it has BrainFlow support
- additional sensors can be added
- a) ProtoCentral Electronics Pvt Ltdext is next to the a) researchers of the Meditation Research Institute Swami Rama Sadhaka in India and b) How to Electronics from India and c) Talha Iqbal University of Galway, Ireland who originates from Pakistan:

Meditation has it’s roots in India. Yogi Bhajan, PhD. from Pakistan called the technology of Kundalini Yoga a science of the mind and body, and founded the Kundalini Research Institute in the US. It is highly desirable, that these research communities grow, not only in India, but worldwide, to become a worldwide community.
Issues
- we do not know if the respiration rate is calibrated. We asked the developer about it, and he did not respond
- There so many low-cost high-quality sensor devices out there. But according to our own little experience we miss a unified sensor platform for all of these sensors, such as for instance a modified or cut down version of Home Assistant for physiological sensors. To attach these kind of devices to Matlab and buy a 1000 USD Matlab licence is overkill. We think Python, InfluxDB or Home Assistant would be better a better choise for neurophysiological signal processing.
- It offers to option to be used as a Raspberry Pi hat. Home Assistant can run on the Raspberry PI. We miss a Home Assistant integration for the Healthy Pi 5.
- We miss the integration of a 3 lead ECG with 3 separate channels. 3 lead ECG is gold standard for HR measurement.
