Hello List, Here is an interesting little app which is free today. It measures your heart rate without a heart rate monitor.
All you do is start the app, then put a finger lightly onto the camera lens. After a moment you hear your iPhone beep at your heart rate and after 6 or 8 seconds it vibrates and you can remove your finger. Don't ask me how it works, but it does seem to work. You can then save the reading, you can also create an account or sign in with Facebook since of course nowadays all your friends need to know all that you do including what your heart rate is. OK, so that part is ridiculous, but this does really seem to work rather well although I have not had time to really explore the app as to accessibility. I did notice that this morning when I did this and after I saved the app, Voiceover did read the date and time of the reading and said my average heart rate was 58 bpm which I assume stands for beats per minute. It does display some sort of graph so maybe parts of the app may not be accessible, but maybe the developer can also improve things a bit if he gets some messages from blind users. I wouldn't necessarily tell him I got his app for free on a promo, but that's really beside the point. Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day to all the ladies, maybe this app arrived just in the nick of time and you can use it to check your heart rate remains in save limits after that romantic dinner *smile*.
