At the risk of showing my medical ignorance, how can a small camera measure my heart rate through my finger?
It uses the same technology as a Pulse Oximeter (SpO2 meter) that is routinely used in pre-hospital EMS and Emergency Rooms all over. Here is an article on how the PulseOx works:http://www.ccmtutorials.com/rs/oxygen/page17.htm
There is a free app called Heart Rate- free.
it uses the camera and light and is very accurate. las time i was at the dr i used it as their machine took my pulse. both showed the same results.
Go to the doctor (ya know an actual human being) to get more accurate readings.
Yeah good point Chris ..It's way easier to call the doctor's office, wait on hold for 5 minutes, get an appointment for 2 weeks down the road, take off work, GO to the appointment, sit in the waiting room for a half hour, then go sit in a tinier waiting room and wait for the nurse to bring in her stethoscope. God, what were these developers THINKING??
All you need to measure your hr is a watch fuck these useless apps.
Why not try magic heartbeat mirror? It is more advanced than this one and it is free!
Hi,
I'm new in this website !
I don't understand how it works? Someone could explain me?
Otherrwise, I have seen a similar app: <a href="www.heartbeatrate.com"> Heart Beat Rate</a> .
This app is interesting because Health advice and regular monitoring and follow-up are proposed.
It is user friendly and magic.
See you soon
