Heart Rate Monitor: Measure Your Heart Rate with Your Phone Camera
Heart Rate Monitor, developed by StepsMagic, is a free lifestyle application available for Android devices. This app estimates your pulse with your phone camera, providing precise, stable, and fast results. The app is easy to use and can be helpful for people with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stress, heart attack, and other medical conditions. It can also be useful for people who are conscious about their health and want to estimate their heart beat zone, such as the zone for burning fat (calories).
The app works well to estimate your heart rate after exercise and fitness training, including cardio workouts. It can also provide accurate readings at other times, such as after sleeping. Heart Rate Monitor shows a graph that is different from an electrocardiogram (ECG, cardiograph). To use the app, you need to place your finger over your rear-facing camera lens and hold it steady while applying light pressure. Please note that the area near the torch or the camera may get hot, and the readings may have some error under certain circumstances. It is for informational purposes only, and you should consult your medical doctor for advice.
