These apps are not too much accurate and you should not totally rely on them. They should not be used to diagnose any disease. Here are the four apps. They are in random order.
1: Cardiio ( for iOS )
Cardiio works by simply having you look straight into the front camera of your iPhone/iPad to measure your heart rate from a distance. No uncomfortable chest straps needed. You don’t even have to touch the camera! It’s a whole new way to monitor your heart and track your health. You can scan your heart rate when you wake up, after a run or during yoga. See how your heart rate changes over time through beautiful visualizations of your data.
Cardiio is powered by cutting-edge research and science conducted at the MIT Media Lab. Every time your heart beats, more blood is pumped into your face. This slight increase in blood volume causes more light to be absorbed, and hence less light is reflected from your face. Cardiio uses your camera to track these tiny changes in reflected light that are not visible to the human eye and calculate your heart beat!
Measurement accuracy is within 3 beats/min of a clinical pulse oximeter when performed at rest in a well-lit environment.
