Using The iPhone?s Front-Facing Camera, Cardiio Measures Your Heartrate

cardiioIt's still relatively early in mobile health, although there are glucose monitors that can be tacked onto iPhones, heart rate and sleep monitoring apps and of course, plenty of exercise and diet-tracking products. Now that many basic product concepts have been laid out, it's time for iteration. Enter Cardiio, a startup and graduate of the Rock Health incubator. Founded by a team of Ph.Ds out of MIT's Media Lab, the company has built a $4.99 heart rate monitoring app that doesn't require you to touch the iPhone's camera.?It actually doesn't require any contact aside from holding the phone so that the front-facing camera captures your face.?From that, Cardiio's sensors can pick up minute changes in the color of your face that indicate heart rate.
