HeartLink: open broadcast of live biometric data to social networks

Published:27 April 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

A number of studies in the literature have looked into the use of real-time biometric data to improve one's own physiological performance and wellbeing. However, there is limited research that looks into the effects that sharing biometric data with others could have on one's social network. The video documents the design and development of HeartLink, a system that collects real-time personal biometric data such as heart rate and broadcasts this data online to anyone. Insights gained on designing systems to broadcast real-time biometric data are presented. The video also reports on the key results from testing HeartLink in two studies that were conducted during sport events.
