Flowers – Heart Rate

This project uses my painting of flowers on the fabric, Arduino Nano as the microcontroller, components from CrazyCircuits and heart-rate monitor from DFRobot. Heart-rate is detected to control the blinking of LEDs embedded on the dress. The making process was published on Hackster.io. This project also aims to demonstrate that when we design fitness and health products, we don’t have to limit to wristbands. Why can’t we embed sensors and monitors into beautiful gowns or daily wear?
