Mate thanks again for the help - you sound like you know a lot about this, are you a doctor? Do you think that it's feasible that an amateur could actually implement something like this themselves?
As for other measurements, I'm not sure what you mean by blood analysis. Do you mean take a sample after the dive? On an extreme breathold dive, the body shuts down (its a survival response known as the mamallian dive reflex) - a lot of blood is drained from the limbs, and its redirected basically between the heart, lungs and brain. Core temperature should increase, but its not uncommon for the limbs to be freezing. These are the sort of things I wanted to record.
OK then, I'll rephrase - how many of these things do you think could be practically implemented by someone with only a university level understanding of electronics, and basic physiology knowledge?
SaO2 analysis
ECG
EEG
Blood pressure
CO2 levels
And maybe anything else you can think of that might be relevant?
Man, my diver is going to look like the bionic man when I'm done with him... :twisted:
Thanks again
