Exactly 10 years ago I built the first camera-based software that could rely only on an iPhone to compute heart rate variability (HRV) accurately - with no external sensors.
Thank you Nick Busca for the interview on Triathlete magazine covering this work, timely!
Full article, here.
While here is my original blog that I wrote at that time, showing the processing pipeline and early results of this new method (2014)
Later, I embedded the technology in HRV4Training, and further validated it against ECG and chest straps (paper here).
Thank you for being part of the journey.
