Wear your heart on your chest

The Brooch beats to the pulse of your heart. Multiple strands sequentially contract with each contraction of the wearer’s heart, revealing much of what is being experienced.

Here is how it works:

The wearer’s heart beat is monitored via the shirt’s cuff ECG leads which are translated and processed by a Wiring Prototyping Board. These signals are converted to pulses of current which run through thin strands of Nitinol, a shape memory alloy, heating them up. This heating causes a change in shape of these strands reflecting the wearers heart beat and associated changes in heart rhythm.
