Physioboard demonstrates iOS/Python/Web prototypes for "real-time" physiological data acquisition and visualization (i.e., skin conductance, heart rate...etc).
Update: This was an early prototype done in summer 2011 (very out-dated). I put together a solution using the Python Tornado Web Server (http://www.tornadoweb.org/) with its WebSocket to keep the "real-time-ness" of data. On the iOS client side, I use PhoneGap (http://www.phonegap.com/) + some WebSocket hacks to display real-time data. However, this project shows the basic functionality (well, at least, for the real-time data). It is still at the prototype stage. I hope this solution can shed some lights on streaming real-time physiological data to iPhone/iPad in order to encourage more usage scenarios of real-time physiological data.
