Description
You don’t need any special medical equipment to get your pulse and to keep track of your health state, just your phone camera! Most accurate, fast and easy to use heart rate app. APPLIED METHOD: Our app is based on photoplethysmography (PPG), non-invasive optical technique. Each heart beat transmits the amount of blood to the tissues in your fingers, while the blood absorbs your camera’s light, it illuminates the skin and captures microvascular blood volume changes such as ebb and flow. That allows you to measure the pulse easily, accurately and efficiently. HOW TO USE: Cover the camera lens and flashlight with your fingertip completely. Do not press too intensively in order to avoid reducing blood flow. Hold your phone steady and keep still. Make sure your fingers are not cold. Press the button and get your results. TRACK YOUR MEASUREMENTS: Get visual display of the data at the given period of time. Personal dashboard with your measurement history. HEALTH KIT INTEGRATION: Support for sharing heart rate results with Apple Health App. REMINDER: Receive notifications in order to have your finger on the pulse. Staying healthy and fit is a systematic process. IMPROVE Y
