These are valid points but the upside of vr is still much bigger than the current downsides. The ability to explore worlds as if you're actually there is something no other medium really offers.
yes,, render feels like the most natural next step right now (similar mental model). Still kind of nostalgic about Heroku, had really good times with it.
hey guys, we’ve had a chance to chat a few times. Fingers crossed for your launch here. Have you thought about Show HN? Your product is clearly needed, and I’ll always support standardization /open standards.
Congrats guys on your release. I tried new VitalLens side by side with my medical grade tracker (Aidmed One) but the respiration numbers were quite off.
Curious if you've done any comparisons against actual hardware (chest-based or contact PPG), or if validation is mostly dataset based for now.
> It's not sexy, and as a result an overwhelming majority of the population is unaware about how to avoid succumbing to it
When I started building an ECG Holter in my early 20s, I tried to get some friends to use it and kept hearing "yeah, but it’s not exactly sexy to wear that thing." That’s when it hit me how little people care about prevention until something goes wrong. We still have a huge awareness gap to close.
So I went on X after a long break from social media, and my feed is full of tips like this one:
Growing on X is so simple I’m shocked it works.
100x comments a day
10x posts a day
15x DM’s a day
1x thread a day
1x email a day
This is how you grow your presence on X.
Even if having a presence matters, how can you actually say something meaningful if you post 10 times a day - there's no way (unless you just repeat yourself). Hopefully my algorithm's just gone weird but sadly the people I used to follow stopped posting.
Hey, can you join our Discord: https://discord.gg/sPay3Xm? Reach out to me personally (@guzik1) - happy to help you with that as we've already had a few people who integrated with rpi, so I can share some tips and examples.
sadly, comfort for chest straps compared to hand straps is a known issue and ours is definitely no different. Wve done a bunch of tests, tried different materials/custom solutions, and honestly we're still clueless how to make it significantly better (if anyone here works in textiles or wearable fabrics, I'd love to connect). So yeah, if wearing your Garmin for more than an hour already feels uncomfortable, ours probably won't be much better in that regard
for regular users, since the device itself doesn't have any interface, we need to send at least some data so they can see it somewhere. the natural place is the phone, but not all of our professional clients liked viewing long ECG recordings or detailed metrics on a small screen, so we built cloud access mostly for convenience .
(to be clear - if a developer wants, they don't need to send anything to us)
Thanks! Yep, the interface for a shell is available here: aidlab.com/developer/debug we are using Jquery Terminal + Web Bluetooth (sadly, I think it's not under active development anymore)
and yeah, when we started years ago, it felt natural that the next step would be to measure glucose from blood but the truth is with the current state of science, it's still not possible to do that 100% non-invasively.
EDIT: I see there is an open issue for that on github
