[Reza Naima] has just released the designs for his Berkeley Tricorder for the public to use. He’s been creating it because 2007 as his thesis work for his PhD, as well as because he’s done now (Congrats!), he made a decision to let it grow by making it open source!
We covered it practically 7 years back now when it was in its very first prototype form, as well as it has come a long way because then. the current version features an electromyogram (EMG), an electrocardiograph (ECG), a bioimpedance spectrometer, a pulse oximeter, an accelerometer, as well as all the data is recorded to a micro SD card or sent by means of bluetooth to a tablet or wise phone for data visualization.
He’s released it in hopes that other researchers can utilize the hardware in their own research, hopefully springing up a neighborhood of people interested in non-invasive health and wellness monitoring. With any type of luck, the advancement of the Berkeley Tricorder will continue, as well as perhaps some day, can genuinely online up to its name!
Unfortunately there’s no new video showing off the current iteration, however we’ve attached the original video after the break, which gives a great narrative on the gadget by [Reza] himself.
