According to Axis https://www.axisweb.org/p/andrewsmall/workset/36457-anyone-who-has-a-heart/ Anyone Who Has a Heart' is a light sculpture that displays your heart rate. It is a landmark and signature artwork for the Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and was installed in 2011 near the entrance to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. Walking around the sculpture triggers sensors and changes the light display. Holding onto the stainless steel hand grips monitors your heart rate and translates that into a red light display synchronised with your pulse. It can also tell you the time as every hour the sculpture turns into a clock. The sequence is explained on floor panels along with information about the heart rate of a range of animals. It was commissioned by Lime in collaboration with the Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, made by Andrew Small and Steve Almond https://www.coroflot.com/stevenalmond/anyone-who-has-a-heart funded through a special arts programme allocation from the hospital's Charitable Funds.
