  • To just start a new projects with new components.
  • Without any outdated hardware and software.
  • Only single electronics components.
  • And only InfluxDB.
  • And only Python.
  • But still as if it was a Home Assistant for physiological sensors?
  • Unfortuantely we did not find these open source devices somewhere.
  • And devices which are sold for research or medical applications which are based on this architecture, do they not start at 100 000 USD?
  • Unfortunately, Adafruit does not help us to build these devices either.
  • So we have to build those by ourselves
  • Starting with ECG chips without Scott Harden, since sound card ECG’s are an outdated concept as well.
  • But still we think investing time in these soft- and hardware components is worth it. And is most of we found on www.petergamma.org not just a waist of time?
  • And is it not also risky, to learn about Richard Davidson only on YouTube, without knowing what other scientists think about «Altered Traits» by Richard Davidson?
