How to use
Heart Rate AI
Heart Rate AI is designed to be a simple, fast and accessible vital signs tool, providing you with accurate heart health insights within seconds.
Click on the Heart Rate AI check button and position your face within the frame of your phone’s camera for approximately 10 seconds to record a scan.
Your heart rate signal is then processed by advanced machine learning algorithms using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) to detect and interpret subtle changes in blood flow. This analysis delivers a clinically validated, data-driven assessment of your heart health, giving you personalised insights that can guide your next steps.
Heart Rate AI - The Facts
Heart Rate
In Brief
A heart rate, also known as pulse, is the number of times a person’s heart beats per minute. The normal heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm), although this can vary depending on age, physical condition, and other factors. A low heart rate (bradycardia) is generally defined as a heart rate below 60 bpm, while a high heart rate (tachycardia) is defined as a heart rate above 100 bpm. Abnormal heart rates can be caused by various factors, such as exercise, stress, medical conditions, and medications.
Why Check
Heart rate is an important indicator of overall health and fitness, as it can provide information about the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently. A slow heart rate can indicate that the heart is not working efficiently, while a rapid heart rate can indicate an overactive thyroid, stress, or anemia. Regular screening will pick up any variations in your heart health before they become serious issues.
Respiratory Rate
In Brief
Respiratory rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute. The normal respiratory rate for adults is between 12 and 20 breaths per minute, although this can vary depending on age, physical condition, and other factors.
Why Check?
A low respiratory rate (bradypnea) is generally defined as a rate below 12 breaths per minute, while a high respiratory rate (tachypnea) is defined as a rate above 20 breaths per minute. Abnormal respiratory rates can be caused by various factors, such as exercise, stress, medical conditions, and medications. Monitoring respiratory rate is important for assessing a person’s lung function and overall health. Changes in respiratory rate can indicate potential health issues, such as respiratory infections or metabolic disorders.
Blood Oxygen
In Brief
Blood oxygen saturation, also known as oxygen saturation or SpO2, refers to the percentage of haemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen. Haemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Why Check?
Blood oxygen saturation provides valuable information about the functioning of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Regular checks will let you stay on top of your: Respiratory Health: Blood oxygen saturation can be used to monitor respiratory health, as low oxygen saturation can indicate problems such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia. Cardiac Health: Blood oxygen saturation can also be used to monitor cardiac health, as changes in oxygen saturation can indicate changes in cardiac function and may be an early warning sign of heart disease.
