Autobotography Intent—Eli F
I want to make a heart beat monitor that records and tracks your mood and emotions by taking your pulse, temp, and a few other key factors to determine what state you are in.
All this data would be compiled into a thread of your life. The data would show drops and spikes in your heartbeat. You would also be able to input your own data such as reasons why it may have changed such as break up, promotion, or working out. The program would learn the signatures of how different activities affect you. This would keep a record of your life through your heartbeat through ups and downs and let you look back on your life via your heart.
There would also be a feature to let you compare your life to others using a social network of heart beats. You could see how other people were feeling as a dramatic event happened. All this data would be uploaded whenever you were near wifi. This would bring a new level to the intimacy of social networks. You could see how comments and posts affect a person as they read them.
Making a prototype of this wouldn’t be hard. It would include an arduino and a few sensors. The programming would be the hardest part. I would 3d print a flexible housing for the device so you can wear it on your wrist or around your neck.
Price brake down:
Device :
Arduino uno/wifi: $10
Sensors: $10
Misc. $10
Website :
Servers: $120/year
Front end coding 10 hours
Backend coding 30 hours
These estimates would be for a rough design. A clean and compact one may be more. As the website grows the server space would also need to causing your server price to go up. The further done the production like this goes I would want to add more sensors and options. Eventually this product would have the capability for you to record your entire life though data.

Concept
what media is the intent/project?
This is a one to many project in my opinion as Eli is making the product that he would wear then display the information on the website to share with others as well as himself.
Design
The wrist wearable design is amazing and very sleek. This tech shouldn’t be too hard to re-create.
Technical
This is an affordable and sensible project that will not take to long to make and will be easy to put together.
Audience
Really this could be for anyone. I don’t see a need to reach out to only certain people.
Creativity
I think this is a very creative idea that I have never heard of before. I would use this myself.
