App of the day: Heart Rate

Heart Rate

I'm starting to worry, and it's all because of Heart Rate. I have measured the beats of my heart at rest and it turns out that I always stay at 65. The healthiest thing would be to be below 60, and in none of the measurements I have succeeded. I'm going to have to get serious about going to the doctor. The app of the day, today, is Heart RateCourse.

Smartphones have come a long way in recent years. I still remember the physical education teacher trying to tell us how we could find the heart rate, and as always there was someone who tried to do it with the thumb, when it actually has its own pulse. I wonder what will happen now when the students say that they have an application on their smartphone that automatically measures their heart rate. And it is that, the unique function of Heart Rate it is precisely that, to measure the heart rate of our heart. To do this, use the camera and the flash. As it does?

Heart Rate

To measure the heart rate, the flash is turned on, and we have to put our finger covering the camera and the flash. Our finger will light up and that will allow the veins and arteries to be distinguished. With the camera, the heart beats are detected and an estimate of the beats per minute is made, just as we would do. In addition, when finishing measuring the pulsations we must indicate the type of measurement, with five different options. A general measurement, one when we are at rest, one before exercise, one after exercise, and one at maximum heart rate.

And how to know if our pulsations are correct? We have a bar of three colors, green, yellow and pink, and depending on where we are we will have to worry more or less. Heart Rate It is a free application and is available on Google Play.
