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.

You may even help your lovely sleeping baby, or your grandparents to measure their heart rate by switching to back camera. This provides an easy way to measure your heart rate and breath rate everywhere.

This app works best, if the device is being hold still in a bright environment.



This is an on-going research being done in many research labs.


How breath rate measurement works
Our software detects movement of your chest while your are breathing. Make sure that your chest is inside the marked rectangle.

A great app: simple, clean design, accurate, and there is a touch of magic since it seems crazy that it can read your pulse off your face.

To be honest I was a little skeptical about the idea this might work. Well, it does! I tested it in different situations and with different persons. Great! Just needs to have enough clarity to work.

This app has the three essential ingredients: 1. Small app size. 2. It is free. 3. It works. This is a "must have" app.

Compared it with the heart rate monitor at the hospital and got the same result. Not quite sure how it works but it does...


This app works best, if the device is being hold still in a bright environment.

This app does not intend to replace medical monitoring devices. It is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Pros and cons of What's My Heart Rate app for iPhone and iPad

What's My Heart Rate app good for

Innovative, intuitive, highly functional....pushing the application barrier of the iPad to the max.
Easy to use. I am testing it in the gym as a fitness tool for my students.
This app seems to work pretty well. I have not tried it on an infant or child yet. Pretty amazing. I have used a photo plethysmograph before on a finger but who would ever guess you could just aim at someones face and get enough change in colour to get a good pulse reading.

Some bad moments

I took a picture of my face in a another cel phone and put in front of the camera, it measure 56 bpm...
...for a very long time in order to get an unreliable pulse frequency. This App is a nice idea that doesnt work.
App looks nice and works, but has three major drawbacks: - it has an absolutely needless sound effect such that music stops playing when opening the app - even in good light, the measurement isnt very reliable (and its sometimes unclear if the measurement succeeded) - the app doesnt support different modes for workout, sitting, relaxing etc
Regardless of my activity level, this app ALWAYS tells me my heart rate is 71. After running, after a gym session, after napping on the sofa: 71 A nurse friend who took my pulse at the same points in time got values of 118, 94 and 76.
A great app: simple, clean design, accurate, and there is a touch of magic since it seems crazy that it can read your pulse off your face.
Works better than advertised. The breath rate add in (pro version?) is well worth the $0.99 also.
