You can measure your heart rate with some phone apps too, like this one:

It's kinda fun to see how low you can go while you're relaxed lying in bed.
If you have an android phone, try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.repsi.heartrate
It's an app where you put your finger over your phone camera with the flashlight turned on and it tells you your heart rate. It monitors the camera for slight changes in colour every time your heart beats. It works essentially the same way a lot of fitness trackers do

I've compared it to my Omron blood pressure monitor and it seems pretty accurate :)
> other than their heart rate monitoring
I like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.repsi.heartrate
> I'm pretty sure it'll be a gateway product anyway
Yeah, I've never been able to justify a smartwatch. The kid in me wants the James Bond gadget... but I don't really have a real use for one lol.
I don't know of any apps that allow you to use the heart rate sensor, but this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.repsi.heartrate uses the camera and flash to do the same thing. It allows you to set arbitrarily long measurement times and would let you see a live readout.
From a cursory look through the play store I didn't see any apps that used the Note 8 fingerprint sensor specifically. It seems like the developers want something that will be compatible with all phones.
For ~$15 I was able to get a pulse oximeter off of aliexpress that would do the same thing. It would also have the benefit of being potentially useful if you are infected with coronavirus.
Phones with rear cameras can do this, you put your finger over the lens and the camera's LED is used to light up your finger. The brightness of the reflection varies as your pulse drives blood into the finger, and counting those pulses gives the heartrate:

Since it requires active user participation to measure it might not be useful for general surveillance.
Not in the same way as this device, but there are apps that use the underlying mechanism to measure your pulse with a camera. For example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.repsi.heartrate&hl=en_US
You can use this app to check your heart rate. I have checked this with a real BPM checker and it's damn accurate (maybe a couple of beats here and there are wrong but otherwise perfect).

In case anyone is curious, there are some good heart rate apps for Android.
It's really simple to use and pretty accurate. You put your finger over the back camera and it uses the flash to illuminate your finger while scanning the pulse with the camera. Because of that, it may not work with all phones depending on the camera/flash. This app was really useful when a family member was having some health issues recently.

This might give you a hint why the mods of /r/Android decided to remove the link in question.
^(It could also be completely unrelated or unhelpful in which case I apologize. I'm still learning.)
A very simple and easy-to-use app for monitoring your heart rate! It is light, free, contains no ads and just needs camera permission. We would be grateful to hear from you.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.repsi.heartrate this is what I use, seems to be accurate enough on my phone (compared to a garmin HR strap)
The Galaxy S5 klte + variants running LineageOS 16.0 does not support being a 5GHz hotspot but works fine @ 2.4GHz.
As a client you can connect your S5 to a 5GHz WiFi network.
There is a way here on XDA to enable the S5 heart rate sensor which I tried when I was running LineageOS 16.0 unofficial but after comparing the results with a simple app using the camera instead like Heart Rate Monitor which gave exactly the same results I did not bother with it after a clean install of LineageOS 16.0 official.
See this video which is exactly what happened on my S5 G900M: Galaxy S5 heart rate sensor vs а pulse measuring app from the Play Store
Green icons don't fit in imo

I installed Heart Rate app, which uses phone's back camera. It seems to work quite well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.repsi.heartrate
I use this one.
