Project Title: Heart Visualizer – See Your Heart Beat
Creator: sharathnaik
Short Description: This device is a heart visualizer. It is able to show users their heart beat by using a heart sensor to calculate then uses robotics and electronics to give a visual experience of what it would look like by having the 3D printed heart beat. This is a fun and interactive way to help people get a more realistic understanding of their heart rate.
The creator was able to print the parts to evoke that visual of a heart.
Response: I think that this project is extremely interesting and would be helpful for children to use. I remember when I was younger, I would be so scared of the doctors, even if was to check my pulse. Using this device at the pediatrics would have helped ease my fears and made me feel more comfortable. In addition, this is a great way to educate people on how the heart beats and understanding heart rates while having this interactive experience to engage learners. I understand that the electronics and robotics of this device is complex and would love to look more into how it was thought out.
