HESS Costs:

1. The HESS Instructor App costs $49 per month (or just $588 per year). This includes the license to run the HESS Instructor app and a FREE Android tablet on which to run it. The costs include a training session as well as app updates, access to the HESS online portal and ongoing support. We will even adjust the billing cycle to match your fiscal year.

2. HESS Device Apps are FREE to use as part of the HESS Instructor App license. As standard Device apps are added to the HESS in the future they will be made available to licensed HESS users FREE.

3. HESSThingZ - Initial HESS Equipment costs. The HESS equipment consists of i) the Android tablets needed to run the Device apps, ii) cables that are used with the Device apps - such as the finger clip for the Pulse Oximeter, and iii) a carrying case. The equipment costs depend on the current market costs of the Android tablets, cases, etc. We basically charge you what we have to pay for the equipment. You can choose the specific equipment that you need - based on the active learning exercises you desire to run - so the equipment costs will vary. For planning purposes you should expect, in most situations, for the one time Initial HESS Equipment costs to be between $250 and $600 depending on the current market costs and on what you need. We can provide you with a quote that will reflect the exact equipment costs.
