With this application now it is possible to see the barking of the heart in real time on the mobile screen. Instant Heart Rate detects the user's pulse when he completely covers the cell phone camera lens with his index finger, as if it were a pulse oximeter.

The procedure is very simple: the app detects the slight changes in the color of the finger caused by your blood capillaries, which expand and contract with each heartbeat.

This allows the application to measure the wrist and convert it into a graph, so that you can store the data and even be able to share it on Twitter and Facebook.
