Instant Heart Rate: HR Monitor

Discover the pinnacle of heart health monitoring with Instant Heart Rate, the most accurate and user-friendly heart rate app available. Recognized for its precision in heart research at UCSF, this app lets you measure your heart rate, beats per minute (BPM), stress levels, and cardiovascular health in less than 10 seconds. Dive into the world of health insights and trends without the need for a dedicated heart rate monitor; just use your camera's flash to assess your well-being.

With over 35 million users worldwide, Instant Heart Rate has earned accolades and features in renowned publications such as CNN, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, The Guardian, and more. It stands as the #1 Heart Rate app in the United States, Japan, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, China, Russia, Canada, and many other countries. Trusted by Stanford's leading cardiologists for clinical trials, this app is a testament to reliable mobile heart rate measurement.

Instant Heart Rate allows you to measure your pulse and heart beat zones accurately after sleeping or during workouts and training, without the need for heart rate straps. The app functions similarly to pulse oximeters, detecting changes in your finger to provide precise heart beat measurements. With features such as PPG graphs (similar to ECG/EKG/cardiograph), cardio workout monitoring, heart rate training zones (Rest, Fat Burn, Cardio, and Peak), and Google Fit support, Instant Heart Rate offers a comprehensive health monitoring experience.

To use Instant Heart Rate, simply place your finger on your phone's camera to display your resting heart rate. Be mindful not to press too hard on the camera lens, as it may alter blood circulation to your fingertip. For optimal accuracy, use the app daily, and tag your heart rate after sleeping or during workouts to distinguish between resting and workout 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). Factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, emotions, activity level, fitness level, body composition, and medication use can affect your heart rate. Understanding your heart rate is crucial as it serves as an important gauge of heart health and cardiovascular fitness. Heart rate variability also plays a significant role in measuring the stress on your body.
