More Medical Devices Should Be Open Source, Like This ECG (github.com)

isza writes: This is a follow-up to the Slashdot story about mobilECG, a 12-lead, clinical-grade ECG being open sourced. We have not given up on our goal to get rid of the high-profit-margin and dishonest distribution practices of diagnostic ECGs, and make a certified open source version of this important diagnostic device. After many months of hard work, there is now a working prototype of a much more capable device than the first version, with its sources available on GitHub. MobilECG now has a Holter function, changeable lead-configurations and Bluetooth. Here's a video of the prototype working.

Re:Where is the proof of the rip-off ECGs?

Mother of God.

According to the ECG, your left ventricle has severe artifacting, and your right valve is macroblocking. I'm sorry to have to break it to you like this, but you've got about 38 seconds to live.
