This project is pretty crazy, some bored people in Austria made a piano that speaks english! It sounds hard to believe, but check out the demo video in the article and prepare to be impressed. There are also a lot of technical details for how it was built (PIC powered) and the software that drives the system.

Taking this weekend a little easier, here's a project that shows you how to add some electronics to a stethoscope to amplify the sound of a heart beat. The article includes the hardware schematic, parts list, description and assembly instructions.

This article demonstrates another way to add some automation to our lives through a device that reminds you when you need to take your medicine. The intelligent part of this project is powered by an arduino / prototino and the rest done through timing and output to an LED that lets you know when the time is up.

This is a cool little gadget that measures both your heart rate in beats per minute as well as the oxygen saturation of your blood. There aren't any needles involed, everything is measured externally through the skin like at hospitals. Take a look at the project write-up to see how it was built.

Here's a medical oriented project: DIY ECG Machine. The project write-up goes through the machine that he's built and gives you some guidance towards building your own. For anyone who is new to the medical field, this is some really cool stuff.

With perhaps a more noble cause in mind, other than just for fun, here is the electronic stethoscope. The build isn't as complex as it might seem and the project write-up offers a deatiled guide for reproducing this device. There's also much background information all for you.
