Cardiograph Heart Rate Monitor

. Very helpful and easy to use

Putting your finger to the camera doesn’t work. Putting it on the radial artery doesn’t work well, but it works better than your finger. It’s easier to just check normally, with your finger, an artery, and a watch, than to use this app. Cool concept, but phone cameras just weren’t built with this kind of use in mind. Something that would help is actually a screen tap frequency to bpm app, which you’ll actually find in music apps. “Soundcorset,” for example, lets you input in this way. No app can rival medical knowledge, unless it specifically teaches it.

This takes so many tries to even get a reading! I have to reposition my finger multiple times to even get my pulse to register, then, once it is registered it will just stop registering half way through the reading and I have to start all over. I have three other apps for ECG and all of them read on the first try. This one is so frustrating because it takes several minutes to even get a reading, and that is if I don’t just given up in the process.
