The heart monitor at work - here I am demonstrating the heart monitor at the LSBU degree show.
The LEDs light up when the heart rate goes over a pre-determined threshold.

Demonstration of heart rate monitor prototype working. The heart rate is displayed on the LCD after the device wirelessly recieves the heart rate signal from the steering wheel sensor. If the heart rate exceeds 85bpm, a red bar alerts the driver of their increased heart rate.

Major Project - Heart Rate Monitor for Drivers
HeartRace is a heart rate monitoring system for commercial drivers. It logs and displays the current beats-per-minute reading taken from the hand sensors on the steering wheel. By monitoring the heart rate, drivers can be aware of their physical and mental behaviour, and employers can keep an eye on their worker's safety and well-being.
The project is being exhibited at London South Bank University's Product Design show, Shape, between 13th-18th June. Details can be found on www.lsbu.ac.uk/lsbudegreeshow
