Rating summary
About
Your heart rate. And your rhythm. No watch required.
Cardia turns your iPhone's camera and flash into a pulse sensor. Rest a fingertip over the lens and the
flash, hold still for about 20 seconds, and get two numbers: heart rate (BPM) and heart rate variability
(RMSSD).
HOW IT WORKS
Light from the flash passes through your fingertip. Each heartbeat shifts its color, and the camera reads
that rhythm using a technique called photoplethysmography (PPG). Cardia saves a number only when two
independent methods agree on it. No video is recorded, and nothing from the camera leaves your phone.

• A daily reminder that skips days you've already measured
