This Little Dongle Measures Your Heart Rate, Oxygen Level AndRespiration [from CES 2012]

The Zensorium Tinke dongle: it measures heart rate, respiratory rate and the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream — all just by pressing your thumb on it.

The Tinke uses a LED light shining on your thumb to measure these values, a similar method the Scosche myTREK uses to measure heart rate.

The measurement takes about a minute to complete, and the app spits out a number, on a scale of 1-100, to represent an overall health score. History is saved and can be viewed easily from within the accompanying app. After that, the measurements can be shared via the usual suspects or through the system’s social network.

Neither the app nor the device itself are available yet, but Zensorium says we should expect the system toward the end of the year, and that it’ll be priced at about $100.
