An electrocardiogram or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiogram ECG] is a graph which reproduces the electric behavior of the heart over time.
This graphs and its derivatives/integrals yield critical information about diseases y overall behavior of the heart



== XO tools ==
* Now we have an excellent way to do an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiogram ECG] measurement, through [[Measure]].

== Why to do it ==
* This is an excellent way to help children learn about the behavior of the heart.
* Can be a way of prevent and diagnose diseases.

== How to do it ==
* First we need an outside circuit that allows to amplified the electrical signal produced from the output of a sensor known as electrode, this amplified output should be enough for being read by [[Measure]] without noise.
* The second part is the safety part, when we are dealing with the heart there is a very real risk of causing serious problems via current leakage.
* The third part is adapt Measure UI to outline the signal.

== Key features ==
* Doesn't kill children
* Low Cost
* Easy to use
* Good documentation
== Extensions ==

*
*
*

== The long time consuming part ==

* Get approval from the health organizations.
