iHeart my iPhone

Posted by sandnsurf on October 2008


The iPhone Heart Monitor – great stuff. This application uses your iPhones in-built microphone to detect, calculate and store your heart rate. The iPhone microphone (especially the one built into your headphones) can record your pulse from your chest, wrist or neck. Watching the video, it looks like it will be a perfect application for both sports people and hypochondriacs, even while it comes with a couple of disclaimers:

Before buying Heart Monitor please make sure you can find your own pulse in your neck (directly below your jaw) or wrist. If you cannot find your pulse you may have difficultly using Heart Monitor – (amongst other things).

Although not specifically designed for medical purposes – the application gives an accurate representation of basic pulse rates and rhythms and well worth a trial….download it from here
