I am the founder of ProtoCentral, a small group based out of India focused on making. We especially work with open source medical hardware. Here is a link to a video of my talk at OSHWA last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdhUHpqoymk
The Healthy Pi is first fully open source multi-parameter vital signs monitoring HAT for the Raspberry Pi, the only one of its kind. Parameters measured currently are SPO2,ECG, Respiration and Temperature.

How did Healthy Pi originate? Earlier, we made a number of boards and sensors as simple breakouts and shield. Sensors such as the Pulse sensors, Body temperature sensors, Spo2 shields and breakout boards, ECG/Respiration shields and boards. These products however contained only one function and had its limitations. So there was scope to conceptualize a platform to bring in all different functions. Hence the Healthy Pi came into being. The Raspberry Pi provided an excellent low cost platform and display.
