[Design and Technology] Arduino heart rate monitor and wearable tech

[Brendan D'Arcy]

Good afternoon,

I have a student next year who wants to make a heart rate monitor t-shirt/bra/strap and us an Arduino nano (or equivalent) microcontroller. 

He will base the sewing of the silver thread on a Polar heart rate monitor chest strap.

Has anyone out there had any success doing something similar with their student(s)?
I'd be happy for some advice on how you went about it.

Thanks in advance,


Regards,
