My favorite is http://www.tadlifecare.com/index.php?id=197 Clunkier are things like http://www.mypulsemonitor.com/ http://www.alivetec.com/products.htm Greg CryoNet <> wrote: It seems that this particular problem is well within reach of an affordable technical solution. That would be a wearable device, perhaps merely a kind of bracelet which could monitor pulse or maybe just motion inobtrusively, send an alarm sound/signal to the wearer, then, if no response to the cryonics provider or an intermediary emergency service provider or 911, all using currently available and relatively cheap cell phone technology. Such a device would have very wide utility, especially for anyone with a questionable health history or life-threatening condition. I assume that our society is gradually moving in this direction, anyway, but cryonicists have a special motivation to be early adopters of such devices. Please, someone, tell me that such services already exist, how they work, and what they cost. All those on this list should be kept current on the state-of-the-art in this area. I know I am not.
