How to measure your heart rate with any Android phone
By Vishal Pandey / August 9, 2014
When Samsung launched its latest flagship the Samsung galaxy s5, one of the most talked about point was the heartbeat sensor. There were some who find the feature useful some thought it gimmicky. However what many people don’t know that we can measure heart rate beat using any android phone as long as it has a camera and a flash.
To do this you need a heartbeat measuring app from playstore there are quite a few there though I would recommend instant heart rate by AZUMIO INC and Runtastic Heart Rate.
How to use the app (instant heart rate)
· Download and install the app
· Open the app and place your finger firmly on the camera lens
· It will record and show your heart rate after a few sec
Both the apps work nearly the same. We even compared it galaxy s5 and found out that result of the apps are nearly same as measured by S5 sensor.
