MOCAheart is a portable health device. It measures heart and vascular health along with customized information (location, weather and personal notes) so that measurements are tailored to a user's daily routine and activities.
Besides communicating vital signs, knowing your loved ones are within reach is an important element to feeling supported. The MOCA app has built in a texting interface to support the need to converse about health status in addition to viewing results and trends.
The project reached it's funding goal of $100,000 on Kickstarter on December 24th 2014.
Taking measurements with MOCAheart is simple and intuitive – the user just need to place two fingers on MOCAheart’s indented sensor and electrode surface. The device uses medical-grade sensors to measures heart rate, blood oxygen level, and MOCA INDEX, a color-coded scale related to blood pressure that is designed to enables anyone without medical background to understand their cardiovascular health status.
MOCAheart aims to make tracking health as effortless as possible for people of all ages. That is why, above all, it is designed to be functional and intuitive.
The device enclosure is made fully out of medical grade materials, including stainless steel and highly biocompatible plastic. With no superfluous coatings MOCA’s stainless steel top surface is unlikely to cause you any allergies (plus it spare environment from pollution, too!)

For the purpose of the campagin I have created two short videos showing more light on the process behind creating MOCAheart.
