HeartBloom

About

Illustrate your heartbeat and send it to someone you love.

HeartBloom is a biofeedback device that collects heart rate data and visualises it with the assistance of a pen plotter. The path and rhythm of the pen’s movements are dynamically coupled to physiological information, such as heart rate variability, creating a new means for visualising and monitoring personal medical information.
