Hi HackerNews,

I'm a co-founder of Idenux and we are excited to show you our ECG (electrocardiogram - your heart signal) based biometric and healthcare technology.

Idenux ECG is a software and hardware devkit on which you can build security and healthcare applications. We are now taking sign-ups for the first batch of devkits and are looking forward to any comments, questions or ideas you might have.

Thanks!

A little sarcastic-psychological note: "ONLY 92 PLACES REMAINING." makes me think there were 100 to begin with, and only 8 people have been interested so far...

Either way, it seems like an interesting product!

Hi, I'm curious how many bits of data you collect to represent a signature for your heartbeat?
Hey,

we sample the data at 1kHz with 24bit precision and the final template takes ~25KB, which can be further compressed for an accuracy trade-off.

This has so many potential use cases. Will be interesting to see if its target market and that of HN intersect.
