Update on contactless desktop heart rate (fatigue) monitoring devices

I launched a prototype of my first-generation contactless heart rate (fatigue) monitoring device on Product Hunt and open-sourced all the code and PCB design. I'm not looking to sell the prototype, as it still has many flaws. I hope launching this project will get more attention for its progress. I've now hired a new designer and am working with my partners to redesign the circuitry to make it...

Easing-Point A contactless heart rate monitor for your desk. Our first prototype has already been built and released as fully open-source. We are now developing the next stage of the product, focusing on a more minimal and forward-thinking form factor, vertically defined usage scenarios, and improved algorithms for more accurate heart rate and breathing detection.

Let me share my contactless heart rate monitoring device project and future plans.

​ About three months ago, I built a contactless heart rate monitor and posted it on Reddit. I even mailed it to a helpful Reddit user for testing. One of the reasons I created this device was because I'm allergic to Apple Watch bands, which led me to consider making a contactless heart rate monitor. I chose a millimeter-wave radar and had a circuit engineer friend design the circuit. I was...
