BehindTheMedspeak: Heart Rate Monitor Glove

Now this is some pretty amazing technology.

I can recall when fingertip pulse oximeters first entered the OR some years ago: the devices gave a readout of heart rate and arterial blood oxygen saturation and cost about $5,000.

The box with all the electronics measured roughly 18" x 15" x 5".

True, this one only gives you your heart rate but it looks a heckuva lot more comfortable and practical than wearing one of those chest bands like people do.

So what if it looks like street wear for the Terminator; it's happening now, not two centuries in the future.

Luminescent backlit display for use in the dark.

Also works as a digital watch and stopwatch.

Uses one CR2032 watch battery (included).

Water–resistant.

Velcro closure.
