★ How heart rate measurement works ★
Measure your heart rate by just looking at your screen. Easy and convenient without needed to finger press on your camera lens.
Your heartbeat causes micro color changes on your face. Our software uses camera and advanced software algorithm to detect these micro changes, with beat-to-beat accuracy. The algorithm is built based on reliable non-contact photoplethysmography concept ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoplethysmograph ).
You may even help your lovely sleeping baby, or your grandparents to measure their heart rate by switching to back camera. This is a fun and easy way to measure your heart rate.
This app works best, if the device is being hold still in a bright environment.

★★★★★ John
Seems accurate Have tried it on many different occasions & with different people with different heart rates. It always seems quite close to what I find when checking the pulse manually. Of course, good lighting is required. Would like to compare the graph with a hospital monitor sometime but not in a rush to put myself in that situation. The option to save the graph would be nice.
★★★★★ mildlydisturbed
Tried it multiple times, measured, usually right EVO 3D, works fine in normal conditions (I am impressed), not so great if the light isn't constant / other people walking around the room (but not horribly off). It was generally right on with my timings, kept trying to find some fault with it but was unable to find obviously wrong. I dig.
★★★★★ Sam
Wait, this actually works I thought this was a joke or a con. Then I tried the app. What an amazing use of image processing. Very clever, and it's not just a gimmick, it seems good enough to actually use.
★★★★★ Mayo
Excellent What makes it so good is being free, simple and quick. Bravo !
★★★★★ Luis
