Measure your heart rate with your iPhone anytime.

The app automatically tracks the trends in resting heart rate (RHR). The lowest reading of the day is saved automatically and charted over the year.

Your PPG waveform (photoplethysmography - an optical measurement technique similar to what is used in pulse oximeters) is displayed in real time during the measurement. The app uses a special algorithm to determine heart rate in about 20 seconds.

It is recommended to take resting heart rate before getting out of bed in the morning, just after waking up. The lowest number is saved and variations are minimized by waiting until the readings stop going down. This first reading in the morning is typically both the lowest of the day and the most repeatable day to day, helping you to discover meaningful trends. A history of your resting heart rate is displayed showing the min/max range and average for every month over the last year. Readings taken in the last 7 days are also displayed on the same chart.

The app can generate an email report with the latest screenshot and data file attached.

Why track resting heart rate?
While there are many useful insights gained from heart rate measurement throughout the day’s activities, it’s resting heart rate’s low day to day variation that allows changes to stand out. Many external environmental effects seen throughout the day are minimized by taking the reading first thing in the morning.
Resting heart rate varies considerably more from person to person than in an individual. There are different views on what a normal range is. This is why we think it is informative to track your own resting heart rate trends over time. We have chosen to limit readings from 40BPM to 100BPM to be saved and charted. Although, the app will still display real time values from 40BPM to 220BPM allowing measurements throughout the day’s activities.

Pros and cons of Resting Heart Rate - Heart Rate Monitor & Tracker app for iPhone and iPad

Resting Heart Rate - Heart Rate Monitor & Tracker app good for

It works great and the use of the camera lens is pretty smart. I only give 4 stars because the design is just so-so. But who cares it does the job.

Quick and easy to use, and effective at measuring heart rate!

One of the best Heart Rate aps. Use twice a day on doctors orders.

Some bad moments

This is a cool simple app that can quickly and easily give you your heart rate, but more importantly, it automatically saves your lowest daily reading. This is a great way to get your RHR (Resting Heart Rate), which is a key fitness indicator. I take a reading before I get out of bed in the morning. I like that it has a graph with daily values for the past week and past monthly ranges, as well as overall max/min/ave. Cant beat it!

Great graphics. Works well. Perfect app for daily heart rate monitoring.

This is a phenomenal help. I really liked the ease of use as well as the important information it gave me. I would even have paid for it now that Ive seen it work

The heart rate scanner works surprisingly well! A good utility app to have to track your heart rate. -1 star because I think the UI could be improved.

Often the apps function rather miss the mark on providing an accurate reading on the heart rate. It could be improved with the ability to sense the pulse coming through when a finger pressure is applied to the camera for a complete reading.

I had no idea you could track heart rate using the camera. Very innovative!
