Idenux – Unlocking the World with Your Heart
- Alesis_Novik 12y agoHi 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!
- akx 12y agoA 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!
- deutronium 12y agoHi, I'm curious how many bits of data you collect to represent a signature for your heartbeat?
- sutas 12y agoHey, 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.
- breitling 12y agoRBC bank in Canada is using this technology based on the concept of a unique heartbeat to facilitate payments [1]. It is basically a wrist band with NFC...but it sounds like it also monitors your heart beat to make sure you really are the one wearing it.

- neil_s 12y agoThis has so many potential use cases. Will be interesting to see if its target market and that of HN intersect.
