Description:

Turn your iPhone into a real Heart Rate Monitor.
Place the tip of your index finger on iPhone’s camera and in a couple of seconds your Heart Rate will be shown.
It works on the same principle as a medical pulse oximeter used in hospitals.
Join 2.7M users on different platforms who are already using it.
This is a free ad supported version of Instant Heart Rate
Full version also has:
♥ Heart rate recovery measurement;
♥ History of measured results; (Google health sync will be available soon)
♥ Target heart rate zone calculation and display;
♥ Real-time PPG (EKG-like graph);
♥ Charts (turn your iPhone on its side);
♥ Sharing to Twitter, Facebook and other social networks.
♥ No ads
Impress your friends and show them what your iPhone can do. This is not a fake diagnostics device like a lot of others on the App Store. It's a real heart rate monitor with a proven principle behind it.
Check http://www.instantheartrate.com for more info including usage videos.
Works best on iPhone 4 because it has a camera flash. On iPhone 3GS it has to be used with good lighting.
Results on iPhone 3GS are equally accurate, it's just harder to use since you need good lighting.
iPod touch 4G support is not tested yet.
NOTE: Make sure that your fingertip completely covers the camera lens. Press gently, since pressing too hard reduces blood flow in your finger and it's harder to get a result.

I was skeptical- being a nurse I thought yah right! So I tried it at work with a monitor. It worked! Very very happy!

I doubted the accuracy at first, but just got a polar HRM with chest strap, and can vouch this app is in perfect sync w my HR after 10-12 sec. Amazing
