Description:

Everyone who sees this is instantly skeptical. It uses your device's camera to measure your heart rate. From what I have been able to tell, it's actually accurate and once you see it work, you'll understand why. Since the lights on phones are right beside the cameras, turning it on in order to essentially flash a light through your finger, allows the camera to detect differences in skin colour, thereby allowing it to count BPM.
