Our heart is our most important instrument, steadily composing the rhythm of our lives. But imagine if the rhythm of your heart could actually create music.
Dignity Health enlisted the creative genius of Composer Miles Kennedy to create a symphony of human heartbeats that could grow and evolve the more people who joined in. This is where YOU come in!
The whole coalesces to form a highly engaging, personal, ever evolving and growing composition that reflects the personal rhythms of its users.
Click “Add Your Heartbeat”
Allow the Dignity Health website temporary access to your webcam so it can take your photo and monitor your heart rate. The heartbeat detection component is based off of an MIT project which allows the application to monitor changes in the blood flow to the face, that are imperceptible to the naked eye, and derives an approximate heartbeat from them.
The application will ask if you want to use the photo that is taken, upload a new photo, or use the brand image of a heart in place of a photo – please choose whichever you are most comfortable with!
Next, you will be given an “instrument” that is unique to your heartbeat. (i.e. Cello, Flute, Drum etc.)
This is such awesome technology. What does your heart sound like?
