Are there any computers out there that can monitor your actual bodies nitrogen levels and heart rate?

No such technology to make it feasible for scuba diving. Considering you need to have a system that puts pressure on your pulse, or use an IR diode to read your heart rate, there's no system that would work with exposure protection. This is why even at the doctors office, they need to put the transmitter on your naked finger, or ask you to roll up your sleeve when taking your blood pressure.
To read your actual nitrogen blood levels, you'd need the computer to have access to your blood w/o an the outside environment contaminating it. And I don't think those computers are small enough to fit on your wrist.
As Jax said, any computer that "does" that is only doing it on an estimate based on the dive profile it's reading and the air consumption is calculates based on changing tank pressure VS dive time. These computers do not take into account diver stress or strenuous activity; simply because they can't.
For these types of computers, you're looking at air integrated computers only. And not all AI computers have this feature.
