Summary
This study tested whether a web-based app can measure pulse rate as accurately as a standard ECG machine. 86 adults aged 22-85 had their pulse measured by both the app and an ECG device at the same time. The goal was to see if the app is accurate enough for everyday use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Web-based application (Informed Vital Core App) for pulse rate measurement
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a convenient, app-based way to check pulse rate without special equipment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (86 people) focused on accuracy, not treatment. The app may not work as well in real-world conditions or for people with certain skin features.
