I've gotten this far trying to install this on Lion:

brew install gfortran

sudo easy_install scipy

sudo port install opencv +python27

export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH

wget http://openmdao.org/releases/0.5.0/go-openmdao.py

sudo python ./go-openmdao.py

cd ~/Downloads/webcam-pulse-detector-master/openmdao-0.5.0

. bin/activate

cd ~/Downloads/webcam-pulse-detector-master && python get_pulse.py

Hope it's helpful to anyone else doing the same. OpenCV is segfaulting now, but I may update this later if I get it.

I might copy the command, quickly paste it in my URL bar to make sure it is indeed what I expected, and then paste it into Terminal

+1 for mobile app. It could be done very well as an iPhone app combined with the Rails backend.
