My partner and I are getting older, and sleep in different rooms at different times. We’ve both worried about the other dying unbeknownst. I wear a pulse watch, but don’t know if it will do what I want. Any ideas, friends? I’d like us to be able to glance at a screen and see a heartbeat, ideally without spending more than a couple hundred dollars, and without too much hassle or cumbersome equipment. I appreciate any suggestions. (edit - we use android and Linux.)
Streamers sometimes use a heart rate monitor widget on stream. There might be multiple solutions here but checking out pulsoid.net it seems like a free solution can be made here if it is compatible with the smart watch used. Android app to webpage might be possible with setting up a local host server. Don’t know what it’ll do to the battery life of your watch and if the widget works without OBS integration. Maybe someone familiar with this can weigh in?
Oooh, this sounds promising. We have a local server. And my Sense 2 can go a week between charges. Thank you very much. I’ll look into it.
