One of the mind shattering features that debuted with the Samsung Galaxy S5 in 2014, was its integrated Heart Rate Monitor built at the back of the smart phone, beside the camera, which got lots of heads turning, and more necks breaking. Since then, more OEMs have not decided to follow this path, and i don’t know why.

Well, today i have two good news, all for you alone, which might sound a little outdated, but still worth giving some attention. The thing is, you can actually experience and enjoy the Heart Rate Monitoring thing on any device you’re holding right now, and the second is, you don’t need a special kind of device to achieve this, so far your device is running on Android OS and its got a camera.

So all you have to do is, Click on the link below to download this app called Instant Heart Rate. there are a handful of apps on the playstore which will perform same function, but i think this one gives more accurate results.

After downloading, open the app, follow the necessary but simple steps in setting it up.

NOTE: You only need your device camera to check your heart rate. A camera with flash will do a better job.

Place the tip of your index finger on your phone’s camera and in a couple of seconds your Heart Rate will be shown to you. A real-time chart will show your every heart beat rhythm pace.
