VitaPulsio - Heart Rate Face Scanner VitaPulsio is the World's first iPhone app that measures heart rate using Photoplethysmography (PPG) technology combined with the TrueDepth Camera System. This innovative app allows users to track their heart rate instantly without the need for physical contact, external devices, or wearables. How It Works 1. Face Detection and Calibration The app uses the iPhone's TrueDepth camera to detect the user's face and calibrate the scanning process. It ensures optimal positioning for accurate readings. 2.
