Check out the ASUS vivo watch. It can measure using a transit pulse index. At least gives you some finer grained data.
You could get better results with a Bluetooth pulse monitor.
I thought the HR detection on consumer fitness gear wasn't very accurate, yet we are able to base medical decisions off it? Have I been misled?
Apple Watch and any other HR monitoring watch...
So the Apple Watch is in an accurate heart rate monitor? Or is high precision not needed for testing for this abnormality? I want highly accurate rate monitoring throughout the day, especially on long hikes.
ICYMI: cardiogram is doing this with the apple/android watch (possibly other devices). they're not using phone sensor data yet to my knowledge though...
Apple watch sucks for hr monitoring too FWIW.
It would be great if it had a heartrate monitor built-in
Is there any accurate solution for blood pressure monitoring with the apple watch?
This would be great to be able to log and monitor heart rate data while sleeping without needing to wear a wearable.
