Trusted by Stanford's leading cardiologists for clinical trials, Instant Heart Rate is the go-to mobile solution for accurate heart rate measurement.
Whether you're monitoring your pulse post-sleep or during intense workouts, Instant Heart Rate offers a comprehensive analysis without the need for heart rate straps. It functions similarly to pulse oximeters, detecting changes in your finger to provide precise heart beat measurements. The app's features include:
- Accurate measurement of heartbeat, BPM, and pulse zones
- PPG graph (akin to ECG/EKG/Cardiograph) to visualize every heart beat and BPM
- Cardio workout monitoring for optimized exercise and progress tracking
- Heart rate training zones (Rest, Fat Burn, Cardio, and Peak)
- Integration with Google Fit for seamless heart rate and heartbeat data sharing
- No requirement for heart rate or heartbeat straps
- Ability to share heart beat data
Using Instant Heart Rate is straightforward: place your finger on your phone's camera to obtain your resting heart rate. Be mindful not to press too hard on the camera lens, as this may alter blood circulation to your fingertip. For the most accurate results, use the app daily, tagging your heart rate after sleeping or during workouts to distinguish between resting and active heart rates.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Mayo Clinic, a normal resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM). Your heart rate can be influenced by factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, emotions, activity level, fitness level, body composition, and medication use. Understanding your heart rate is crucial for gauging heart health and cardiovascular fitness, and heart rate variability is a key indicator of stress on your body.
