| Smartwatch that can detect electrocution? |

Looik at fire brigade man down devices, designed to sound a loud alarm if you stop moving afer a minute or so, and which you normally wear on you, plus you get detectors that are across the chest heart monitors, which work better than a watch that is looking at pulse using a LED and reflection of doppler shift off the blood in the skin. Incidentally the IR monitors tend to suck badly at reading those with high levels of melanin in the skin, so YMMV in use of them. |

If for some reason it wasn't, get a professional, certified solution. For example: https://www.swissphone.com/solutions/components/terminals/lone-worker-alarm-system-trio/ |

--- Quote from: PapierzToaletowy on December 06, 2023, 03:15:40 pm ---This thread got me wondering, could a smartwatch be worn on the thing and programmed to detect subconscious arousals? (Like the cases where you're at work, doing nothing but boring code, yet for some reason your log burns with passion.) Sadly I don't have any to try it out. An Apple Watch (since it's expensive) could be used to impress other men at the gym. --- End quote --- :-DD |

If you've had a serious shock something that waits a minute or two to send a warning is likely waiting too long. Maybe be better to assume a serious shock would fling someone out of their chair, then have a weight sensor in the chair, have it send an alarm within seconds if it sees the weight removed without some special switch being turned (a switch to turn when someone is deliberately getting off the chair so it won't false alarm). |
