My partner and I are getting older, and sleep in different rooms at different times. We've both worried about the other dying unbeknownst. I wear a pulse watch, but don't know if it will do what I want. Any ideas, friends? I'd like us to be able to glance at a screen and see a heartbeat, ideally without spending more than a couple hundred dollars, and without too much hassle or cumbersome equipment. I appreciate any suggestions. (edit - we use android and Linux.)

It would suck extra hard to lie in bed planning out the nice breakfast you're going to make for your partner and learn afterwards that they'll never get to enjoy it.

There's a YouTube video of a guy who I guess he and his wife did life blogs or something (I didn't watch their content, so I don't really know). He's got his recording going about the start of his day, talking about how she's sleeping in again, and then he goes to wake her, but she's fucking dead. It's like the most human thing I've ever seen on film, and I really appreciate that he posted it, even though I don't fully understand why I feel that way. It just feels important to me.
