Heart-rate tracking
How to keep a consistent heart-rate log on iPhone
A consistent context makes personal readings easier to compare. Treat a camera-based reading as a record to discuss, not a diagnosis.
A clear sequence
- Rest for a moment before taking a reading.
- Use the same finger and phone position each time.
- Record the context, such as after activity or at rest.
- Look at a series of readings rather than one value.
- Contact a qualified professional for symptoms or medical interpretation.
The app can organize personal observations; it cannot replace clinical measurement or care.
