This looks great. I backed a project called Beddit which is similar, but just a single strip that measures your breathing and heart rate, but it never worked very well for me. Part of the problem was it required opening up the application and connecting to the Bluetooth sensor every. damn. night. [1][2]

The only way I can integrate quantified self gadgets into my life is if they are totally hands-off, passive data collectors. I don't want to charge a fitness tracker every night and remember to put it on in the morning. The best I can do is remember stand on my Withings scale a few times a week.
