Summary

This study tested whether a smartphone camera app could accurately measure patients' heart rate and breathing rate in a busy emergency department. Researchers compared measurements from the app against standard hospital monitors in 112 adult patients, visitors, and hospital staff. The goal was to see if this technology could help save time and improve how often vital signs are checked when emergency rooms are crowded.
