Homemade Electrocardiograph (ECG)
While motivations will vary, I’m quite sure that many people will find this project interesting. You can make your own ECG (heart monitor) to monitor your own heartbeats for less than 10$ (not including your PC).
Disclaimer: This project involves strapping electrodes on your chest. Electrodes = electricity. Do it at your own risk.

Interesting for home use but also a little scary. What are you meant to see from this as a layman ? I’d prefer to rely on my doctor for a true analysis.

That’s quite a fun little project - I’m surprised it can be done for under $10.
