The Electrical and Computer Engineering in Medicine (ECEM) research group and the Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team (PART) at the Canadian University of British Columbia have developed a pulse oximeter that works with the iPhone.
An oximeter measure pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation and the device can be used at home by people with respiratory problems.
Readings are stored and sent over the Internet to the hospital or the doctor's office.
Just don't place stressful calls while you're measuring your pulse rate!
