HeartSwitch

thingiverse

Human: HeartSwitch, this is the revolutionary device created specifically for people with limited or no autonomy: older adults, children, individuals with disabilities, and those who have experienced temporary accidents. Two visionary Italians pioneered this concept by developing a groundbreaking prototype. The ultimate goal of HeartSwitch is to seamlessly integrate into daily life, empowering users to control electrical devices such as windows, heating systems, lights, alarms, and even advanced machines like rocking chairs or coffee makers, all through the power of their heartbeats. HeartSwitch represents an unprecedented evolution in home automation, marking the dawn of a new era in bio-automation and wearable technology. By harnessing the signals from our organs – electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, electromyography, blood pressure, respiratory flow/volume – science can significantly enhance our quality of life. The 3D printing file available on Thingiverse showcases a storage box design for the device.

This groundbreaking project was conceived by two Italian visionaries who developed a prototype. The primary focus of HeartSwitch is to assist individuals with limited or no autonomy: older adults, children, people with disabilities, and those who have experienced temporary accidents. The ultimate goal is to integrate this technology seamlessly into daily life, empowering users to control various aspects of their environment through the power of their heartbeats. Lesson Plan and Activity Revolutionizing Home Automation This represents a significant evolution in home automation, marking the beginning of a new era in bio-automation and wearable technology. By harnessing the signals from our organs – electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, electromyography, blood pressure, respiratory flow/volume – science can significantly enhance our quality of life. HeartSwitch plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstater early 2017. For updates and advice on the project, visit their Facebook page at fb.me/HeartSwitchProject.
