Improve accuracy at high heart rates
The app uses your smartphone's camera to measure your heart rate. By placing your fingertip over the camera lens, it detects subtle color changes in your fingertip that correspond to your pulse. An advanced algorithm then processes these changes to calculate your heart rate, similar to how a pulse oximeter works.
Key features include fast, continuous, and accurate heart rate measurement using the phone's camera, real-time pulse graphs (PPG), the ability to save unlimited results with tags, daily measurement reminders, and the option to share screenshots. Premium users can also export history to CSV or PDF and back up/restore data.
No, this app is designed for general fitness and wellness purposes only and should not be used as a medical device or product. For any medical concerns or purposes, it is essential to consult with your doctor or primary care physician.
To get accurate readings, hold the tip of your index finger gently over the back camera lens of your phone. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can restrict circulation. Hold your finger still for at least five to ten seconds to allow the app to compute a stable and accurate heart rate.
The app is free to download and use for basic heart rate monitoring. Users can choose to purchase 'Premium' to remove ads and unlock additional pro features, such as exporting history to CSV or PDF and data backup/restore functionalities.
