If I could ask -- I saw a LoRA circuit mentioned in the schematics... what is that used for?
Good question! The plan was to use it for the central alarm room in temporary hospitals where no network exists.

We planned to develop a small gateway to gather all the devices alarms, linked to bed number. It was not developed, but hardware has the feature.

The LoRa fairness will allow very few data to come up, but high level alarms vital could be transmitted several times in a second if needed.

We know we cannot use it to transfer waveforms of course.
