I have one called Instant Heart Rate Free, which may be similar or the same as the one that Andy mentioned. I haven't used it in a few years and do not recall how accessible it is. When I do need to use it, I typically will put a finger on the camera lens, open the app, and wait until it takes my heart rate. It will then ask me what time of day or what kind of activities I have been doing, like sleeping, working out, after a meal, etc. I can then double tap on the item I want and the rate and activity are recorded, and I believe that information is also shared with the Health app. While it is taking the heart rate initially, you will hear beeps which match your beats per minute. One of these days I want to get an Apple Watch and have a monitor on my rist, but those things cost money and that's something that is in short supply for me right now.
