What is Camera Heart Rate Variability? Description of Camera Heart Rate Variability 2412 chars

Camera Heart Rate Variability is the first app that lets you record, plot and export time and frequency domain Heart Rate Variability Features - without requiring any heart rate monitor.

Camera HRV uses a technique called photoplethysmography (PPG for short), which consists in detecting changes in blood volume during a cardiac cycle, by illuminating the skin and measuring changes in light absorption. PPG has become quite a popular non-invasive method for extracting physiological measurements such as heart rate and oxygen saturation. However, most applications today focus simply on heart rate or respiration rate.

Supported devices for the camera measurement: iPhones 5, 5S, 6, 6S, 6+, 6S+, SE, 7, 7+, 8, 8+, X, XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max

Camera HRV can assess cardiac autonomic regulation through quantification of sinus rhythm variability. Since HRV aims at quantifying autonomic regulations, it can be used as marker of sympathetic or parasympathetic predominance, and therefore become relevant in many applications. In athletes for example heavy training is responsible for shifting the cardiac autonomic balance toward a predominance of the sympathetic over the parasympathetic drive, and HRV analysis attempts to quantify this shift.

Other applications span from stress monitoring, assessment of pathological conditions and even emotional regulation during financial decision-making.

Main Features:
- extracts, plots, stores and exports heart rate, rr-intervals, time and frequency domain heart rate variability features (AVNN, SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50, LF, HF, LF/HF)
- configurable time window for feature extraction (30 seconds to 5 minutes)
- automatic RR-interval correction
- event annotation
- comparison between up to 3 recordings lets you get a better understanding of autonomic regulation and sympathetic/parasympathetic activity under different contexts in a glance
- data export/storage on iTunes and Dropbox (csv format, exports heart rates, rr intervals, events and computed features). Data export needs to be performed from the history -> recording view, by clicking on the export button (bottom left).
- integration with the Health app (writes Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability)

Camera Heart Rate Variability Pros

✓ Seems to be great, butSeems to work well and sooo much nicer than having to put on my chest bluetooth monitor. But I can't figure out most of what is measured and shown - app is in desperate need of help buttons on each screen to explain what its showing. I first learned of HRV at the Mayo clinic as they used a breathing app that they tuned for me, while having me hooked up to a bunch of sensors like skin temp, but key was that they tracked my breathing relative to my heart frequency to get them to track, without the breathing app my reading were totaly out of sync while i tried to relax. Then on the first redo with the app guiding when i breath in, hold, breath out, hold to total about 10second loops my readings were tracking very well, little more fine tuning to find what they called my resonant freq and i had app setting to use to calm down my body. So figured this app would be good to monitor the progress, but unfortunately it was not as simple to see as mayo setup that super imposed a breathing graph on too of the hrv graph. I really want give this app 5 stars, but can't make heads or tails of most of the data so have it a generous 4, hoping this changes soon as there is real genius in the app and its camera usage model, and would totally merit 5 if it can help the average person use its data to improve calmness,....E1D1Version: 4.5.0

✓ Great concept, iPhone only (not iPad)A great concept and, having read the authors blog posts and done some additional reading I'm interested to look at using HRV to monitor my training. Having said that this app doesn't work on an iPad Air. I didn't think it would as the iPad has no flash to illuminate the finger but I thought I'd have a go. I therefore can't give a rating. I'll have to wait for my Bluetooth HR strap to arrive before I can test the authors other apps..LukestermokesVersion: 3.2.6

Camera Heart Rate Variability Cons

✗ Not what I expected!!!I wanted an hrv app that doesn't need the Bluetooth chest strap and be able see weekly and monthly trends of rMSSD data. This app does give you a rMSSD value but there is no avg. or any type of trend that would allow you to see your recovery for future training. The app description describes being able to compare 3 recordings, but it also states it creates plots of the data implicating more than three data points. When trying to find instructions for how to use the app you are provided technical info on the accuracy of the data the app collects, not user instructions. The app works, but the user interface is clumsy, you are provided with data that is not organized in a manner for easy comparison for the purpose of reaching training goals, and user instructions are very minimal for a very un-intuitive app..Mensa boundVersion: 3.2.6

✗ Not fully functional, it seemsI get a "HRV not computed due to poor signal quality" with every attempt, no matter what I do. It would help if I had more information about what that message means..Craig 55Version: 5.0.3
