Your heartbeat causes micro color changes on your face. Our software uses camera and advanced software algorithm to detect these micro changes, with beat-to-beat accuracy.

Yup. This is a pretty new concept. If you google "non contact photoplethysmography", you will realize this is an on-going research being done in many research labs. What we do is, we realize this concept in smart phone

We are not genius We just simply stand on the shoulder of giants (All the researchers in this field). We merely implement their idea on smart phone. I guess we are not the first one. I somehow came across an app with similar idea named MedCam (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cupel.MedCam)

Dear all, we just manage to release What's My Heart Rate ver 1.5, with attempt to fix on HTC EVO 4G with sense and HTC EVO 4G with CM7.

As we hardly can get such device right here, we would be very appreciate, if you can tell us, how the app perform in your HTC EVO 4G device.

If the app able to run successfully on your HTC EVO 4G device, let us know right here. [Deleted. Only one external link per post allowed --Mods ]. If it isn't, please also let us know through the facebook page.

If you have problem in using the app on your device, we would be very appreciate that you let us know through facebook page instead of Android Market comment. This would make our communication easier as Android Market doesn't provide facility to respond to your comment.

Thanks!

The app can be downloaded right here : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vitrox.facion.gui
