Cheap low power open source heart rate and body temperature monitor

So far I've got the piezo sensor picking up my heart beat on my wrist, The heart rate is displayed on a 1602 LCD screen. For better visuals from a distance I added a red LED and a piezo speaker. I currently received a DS18B20 temperature sensor which looked great and came in the waterproof enclusore. But after added the code and library to my project I soon realized that it was too slow and messed up my timing for my piezo vibration sensor. My plan to over come this is to put a LM35 into the DS18B20 steal enclosure.
