CLUSTER HEART-RATE-BLOOD · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-10-25
Camera-based heart rate monitors
This cluster comprises mobile apps that measure heart rate via a phone camera, with some also tracking blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen levels, and mental wellness while offering workout plans or AI-driven insights. Dated entries appear sporadically from February 2017 through January 2026, with a slight concentration of three entries in mid-2023 but no sustained pattern. Among the three traction leaders (Lens HRV, Pulsebit, pulsocamara), all show zero-star activity, so none holds a clear engagement advantage.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
