How long until this technology becomes available to the public?

It's not that complex a technology, I'm thinking. When I was taking my engineering degree, a group of students built a very similar device as part
of their 4th year design project. They rigged up an EEG, as opposed to the EKG shown here, but they made it work with a microprocessor module and a
computer, as well as leads like those on the model in the pic above.
Theirs was #13 here

(mine isn't there, my group didn't give permission to have our pics online)
