Camera Heart Rate is a free app that can be used to measure resting heart rate, and can share data only via the Health app, so that each user is in total control of their data and privacy
Why did we develop camera heart rate and what can the app do?
Since the global covid-19 outbreak, many doctors and scientists have been looking into simple and cost-effective methods to identify and manage individuals that might require additional care. Physiological measurements (for example resting heart rate, HRV or temperature), are all great candidates as these parameters have shown a consistent response to infections (you can find some data here)
At the same time, many research institutions and governments are starting data donation initiatives to track covid-19 symptoms, at a much larger scale. Needless to say, a free camera-based heart rate monitoring app could empower people from a self-awareness point of view, as well as give them the opportunity to contribute to these projects, even if they do not have wearables
This is why Camera Heart Rate was developed: to provide a free app that can be used to measure resting heart rate, and share data only via the Health app, so that each user is in total control of their data and privacy
Camera Heart Rate behaves simply as a free heart rate monitor, and does not provide any interpretation or diagnostic

Can I use camera heart rate for my initiative?
Camera Heart Rate relies on HRV4Training's technology and is currently available on iOS in selected areas. If you are interested in potentially using Camera Heart Rate for your initiative, please feel free to reach out
