To use a Xiaomi treadmill insted of «dr. toys» as an exercise stress test treadmill – a real bargain?

Last Updated on November 19, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

I suppose it should be possible to build an exercise stress test treadmill out of a Xioami treadmill and OpenBCI ECG. These treadmills use the Bruce protocol:

This protocol lasts 21 min. and the treadmill becomes gradually faster controlled by a computer, and the tilt becomes gradually bigger. The Xiaomi K12 cannot uplift, but we can add this by ourselves. «doctor toys» treadmills with ECG used by medical doctors which can do this cost new 14 000 USD (and are about 5 times heavier). A Xiaomi K12 is 500 USD. and OpenBCI with 12 channel ECG costs between 600 USD and 2000 USD. A real bargain? What is your opinion about this topic?
