Abstract

We (at ProtoCentral) developed the HealthyPi HAT for the Raspberry Pi as a way of opening up the healthcare and open source medical to anyone. The HealthyPi is made of the same “medical-grade” components found in regular vital sign monitors, for a fraction of the cost of such system. This is our way of democratizing medical hardware to develop new areas of research.

Our objective when we began developing the HealthyPi was to make a simple vital sign monitoring system which is simple, affordable, open-source (important !) and accessible. HealthyPI is completely open-source and is our way of “hacking” patient monitoring systems by getting data that you need, in the way that you need and extending on that without getting involved in sticky proprietary NDAs and such.

Demo will allow people to come, check out and play with (and possibly hack) the HealthyPi device while getting their vital signs monitored.
