Technical Highlights Signal preprocessing with outlier smoothing and moving average filtering. Hybrid BPM engine: combines real-time FFT and PPG beat detection with smart fallback logic. Health Check system: captures raw red-channel data and generates HRV + vascular reports. Real-time confidence score: each reading includes a quality indicator based on signal and sample size.
