Open-source, Arduino-based wearable biometric sensor EmotiBit meets Kickstarter goal


Portable sensor module EmotiBit

A new biometric, wearable sensor module based on Arduino is now available at Kickstarter.

The open source device called EmotiBit can capture emotional, physiological and movement data via more than 16 biometric signals.

“Wear it in any orientation, anywhere on your body, and start measuring biometric signals! Thanks to the integrated slots, you can easily carry EmotiBit however you want, ”says the Kickstarter website.

Since the data is 100 percent owned by the user, it can be recorded directly on the built-in SD card and viewed via a cross-platform visualizer, available for Mac, PC and Linux, based on the OpenFrameworks toolkit for creative coding .

The visualizer also enables data streaming and, as open source, enables further adaptation of the platform.

"EmotiBit is equipped with sensors in a portable form factor and thanks to its open source technology is 100 percent customizable and hackable," the company said. “EmotiBit is fully compatible with the Adafruit Feather ecosystem and Arduino. Just customize it to do whatever you want! "

From a technical point of view, the wearable device EmotiBit contains several sensors with which body functions can be measured.

These include a GSR / EDA sensor for reading emotional, cognitive and physiological data, a thermistor for reading body temperature, and a PPG sensor for measuring heart rate, breathing and other health biometric data.

EmotiBit is now available live on Kickstarter. Early bird commitments starting at $ 199 for the basic package and up to a $ 375 early bird Rockin & Researchin package that includes the device, an EmotiKit research add-on, a factory-calibrated Adafruit Feather, a 400 mAh Battery and a high-speed microSD card.

The company's committed target was $ 15,000 and EmotiBit has raised $ 36,994 at the time of writing.

If the production of the devices goes without any problems, supporters should receive their EmotiBit devices from February next year.

Biometric wearables for health monitoring are a growth area in the industry. Several devices were tested, introduced, or introduced into new environments this year.
