Measure your heart rate with the built-in camera and monitor your physical fitness using our patented technology. Developed in the laboratory of Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in France, this method has been tested and validated against FDA-approved instruments in clinical conditions.

Best results for iPhone 4G, works on 3GS.

Whether youre a marathon runner or a couch potato (sedentary), you probably have some idea of how fit you are. But having more than a general sense of your fitness level can help you set fitness goals, monitor how youre doing and maintain your motivation.
This application offers an easy way to measure your heart fitness—one of the most important indicators of your overall physical health.

Heart fitness is a prime bulwark against myriad medical problems, including but not limited to the No. 1 killer in the United States, heart disease; more than 70 million Americans suffer from some form of it.

This test really couldnt be easier: all you need is to cover iPhone camera with your fingertip and proceed to 30s physiological measurement. During measurement the instantaneous heart rate is monitored in beats per minute (BPM) and the physiological plethysmographic signal is also displayed.

Make sure that finger detection gauge is green and full before and while you are making measurement, and that you are in sitting position for 5 min at least.

A low heart rate at rest suggests that your body is physically fit—a key element of a healthy body—so the lower the figure, the greater your cardio fitness. (Source: American heart association). Once you have the number of beats per minute, its easy to gauge your situation and to compare it with friends.

Don’t despair over an unsatisfactory result, however: Your level of cardio fitness can improve remarkably quickly, with as little as 20 minutes of physical exercise four to five times a week.

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that you assess four crucial components of physical fitness before you start a regular program of exercise. These include aerobic fitness, maximum and reserve heart rate. Set aside some time to calculate your Training Chart. Once you know where youre starting from, you can plan where you want to go.

Keeping track of your progress is an excellent way to maintain your motivation. Assess your fitness level 2 weeks after your initial measurement and every three to weeks afterward.

Repeat your assessment a year after your first measurement to see how far youve come. Celebrate your progress and set new goals.

Pros and cons of Heart Fitness app for iPhone and iPad

Heart Fitness app good for

ça marche super bien sur iphone4. resultats realistes. bravo !
Funktioniert, kostenlos, inovativ Thanks for that! Good Idea, well done
Funktioniert echt toll. Es wäre gut, während der Messung ein ton zu hören. :) Nice app! It would be nice to hear a tone signal while measuring. Thanks a lot!
This app is very interesting it gave me realistic results on my bpm and I was suprised how accurate it was. Good job dudes ! Interesting technology and I cant believe my iPhone 4 can do this kind of stuff ! :P
After the other app with similar function failed to measure my wifes heart rate, I found this app. Love the real-time feedback on the quality of sample collection, aka "Get the square red colored", also like the fact that it collects sample for 30 sec and calculates the average. Also, I found that with the real-time sample quality feedback, I dont need to take the iPhone out to the case to get a good reading, and it reads my wifes with no problem. One suggestion for future update is to add feedback sound for every pulse it detects. Other than that, a solid 5-star for a free app.
It takes a couple seconds to adjust finger position and pressure on the camera + flash, but the realtime sensor feedback helps greatly with that. Once adjusted properly, make sure you dont move. Works perfectly as advertised.

Some bad moments

After iOS 7, the program starts measuring blood pressure but the program closes without registering results. It bumps after the end of the results.
Crashes while running on iOS7 (up to recent 7.0.4 update). Was great before - iOS6. Please fix the issue!
Too bad it doesnt work. I tried to do the bpm measurement at least 10 times and it failed every time. Epic fail.
Useless app since its does work... Would have like to know the results but I waisted time trying to get a reading and each time it failed....
After downloading app it worked ok. I was able to get the black bar turn green but now it doesnt turn green no matter what light condition I am in. It just stays black.
Doesnt work for me I put my finger on the cam and nothin happens it says I have no pulse WTF!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡
