Blood Pressure (BP):

Blood pressure is the force driving blood through the circulatory system, essential for delivering oxygen, nutrients, immune cells, and hormones like insulin to tissues and organs. A normal blood pressure reading is below 120/80 mm Hg.

Blood Oxygen Saturation (SaO2):

Blood oxygen saturation measures the percentage of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin in the blood. Normal levels range from 95-100%. Levels below 90% indicate hypoxemia, which can impair organ function if it drops below 80%.

Heart Rate Monitor Mechanism:

The app uses contact photoplethysmography (PPG) via the phone’s camera to detect variations in light absorption caused by blood volume changes with each heartbeat. By analyzing these patterns, the app provides accurate pulse measurements.

Heart Rate Assessment:

The app records heart rate data locally and displays it based on the mode and time of detection. It uses benchmarks from the American Heart Association, where a resting adult heart rate should be 60-100 beats per minute. Recommendations are provided based on these evaluations, with the caveat that individual factors such as gender, fitness, and organ health can affect heart rate norms.

Disclaimer:

The advice provided by the app is meant as general guidance. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes based on app recommendations.
