App summary
Cardiva — Heart RatePulseRecord is an Android tool that helps you monitor your heart rate and pulse patterns with minimal effort. The app captures your heartbeat by using the phone’s camera: simply cover the lens with a fingertip and the app records your pulse waveform, then displays changes in an easy-to-read visual format.
Measurement method
Cardiva relies on camera-based photoplethysmography (PPG). When your finger rests on the lens, tiny changes in blood volume are detected and converted into a pulse trace. This allows quick, noninvasive measurements without extra hardware.
Trend tracking and charts
The app stores readings and presents them as trend charts so you can spot patterns over time. Available views include:
- Monthly overviews to reveal long-term changes
- Daily snapshots for short-term fluctuations
- Weekly summaries for medium-term trends
These charts make it simple to compare readings across different periods and identify consistent shifts in resting or active heart rate.
Notes and personalized logging
You can annotate recordings with context such as workouts, stress, sleep quality, or other lifestyle factors, building a personal pulse history. These notes help connect heart rate changes to daily activities and can be useful to review with a healthcare professional.
Usability and design
Cardiva emphasizes a clean layout and a speedy recording process so you can measure your pulse quickly and return to your routine. The interface is designed for straightforward navigation, ensuring key functions and recent readings are easy to access.
