What is Reddit's opinion of Instant Heart Rate : Heart Rate & Pulse Monitor?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There are heartrate apps that use the flash and camera to see your blood pulsing. This is basically how most heartarte monitors work (smartwatches, fitbit, medical finger rate monitors). OP is not mistaken at all.

There's also this one that I've been using which gives an accurate result. It might be hard to get it to work at first, but you have to press your finger against your camera light and against the camera lens/protective glass. At least that does it for me.

EDIT: Also seems to be available for iOS.

Tell me how much of this would be considered sci fi 20 years ago:

• You have access to the majority of human knowledge in an easily searched medium.

• You can transfer gigabytes of information, wireless, in potentially minutes.

• You possess a device that can take audio and visual data of your environment, read barcode information, facially recognize, act as a compass, tell what direction it is facing/moving, act as a GPS, act as a fully functional phone, link up with other devices wirelessly, can be remotely accessed or shut down if lost. You can read heartrates from existing camera tech.

We are just a few sensors away from a full-on tricorder. What we have in phones/tablets is already considerably useful, and adding more data collection mechanisms is not that farfetched.

Are we all just pretending “Instant Heart Rate” hasn’t been doing this for about 10 years? We’ve known this and it’s been pretty accurate since it’s release.

Muito legal, mesma pegada do Ring Fit mas muito mais acessível, e o estilo de arte é bem legal.

Não cheguei a testar o seu jogo então não sei se isso já é suportado, mas caso ainda não, uma coisa legal que o Ring Fit faz depois de casa exercício é medir os batimentos cardíacos usando a câmera de infravermelho do joycon, pra saber se você está na "zona" correta pra queimar calorias. Em celulares é possível fazer o mesmo usando a câmera e o flash, segurando o dedo sobre ambos por alguns segundos.

Muito sucesso com o jogo!

I used to use a heart rate monitor sometimes. I find it's interesting to see how much my heart rate jumps.

And it's great way to tell how good shit it is. I mean Idk if I'm the one whose complained about the quality of shit just to be told that it's my tolerance. But good shit is good shit and that's helped me to prove my point.

I know this doesn't answer your question but maybe it'll help somehow.

Idk why I'm getting downvoted lmao, there's so many apps to tell you your heart rate on the play store without a dedicated hardware sensor, it just needs your camera.

Every Android phone with a camera and a flash has a heart rate monitor. Yes, I have used it, and yes it does work very well.

"Instant Heart Rate" android app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=si.modula.android.instantheartrate&hl=sv

We have compared it by also counting the beats for a minute and tried it on different people ect. It's filled with ads but it works fine. You just hold your finger pressed against the camera lens with the flash on and it's able to measure the heart rate. I looked at what it looks like in the camera app, and it is actually very easy to see your pulse.

Don't utilize % max Heart Rate, but rather % Heart Rate Reserve. A person's minimum Heart Rate is not 0. % Max doesn't account for individual cardiovascular fitness the way heart rate reserve does which takes into account minimum heart rate, which is individual.

To figure out minimum heart rate, just check your heart rate when you first wake up, before you get out of bed, preferably without an alarm waking you. You can either do the count thing or use your phone's camera

Also, if you haven't, I would figure out your own individual max heart rate vs using a generic age/gender based formula. These can also vary.

To figure out max heart rate, take the highest heart at the end of of 3 x 3:00 hill climbs at an aggressive but steady pace. If you don't have access to be a big hill or treadmill, you could just do 3 x 800m repeats as well, but hills have a way of getting the heart race upward quickly.
