My research into cryonics monitoring systems began in late 2020 with the Apple Watch. Since then, I have evaluated over 50 devices for suitability in cryonics alarm monitoring. Some of these evaluations were brief, a few minutes, while for others I created more or less a prototype in order to better understand the components and limitations of the device.
The devices I evaluated for cryonics monitoring suitability have largely been fitness related devices, including:
- Apple Watch - prototype
- Samsung Gear 2 - prototype
- Samsung Galaxy 5 - documentation / sensor experimentation
- Fossil Sport - prototype
- Tic Watch Pro - prototype
- Fitbit Versa 3 - prototype
- Fitbit Charge - prototype
- Fitbit Sense 1 - prototype
- LilyGo TTGo - prototype
- mBient MetaMotionS - documentation / sensor experimentation
- Oura Ring - documentation / sensor experimentation
- Garmin - documentation
- Biobeat - discussion with representative
- Empatica E4 - documentation
- PineTime - documentation
Stay tuned to this space -- I will be publishing:
- Detailed articles about individual sensors and their role in cryonics monitoring
- Deep dives on suitability of particular devices
- Experimentation videos and write-ups with devices
