Problem
Many individuals are unaware of heart rhythm irregularities, such as atrial fibrillation, which can lead to serious health complications like stroke if left undetected. Traditional methods of heart rhythm monitoring often require visits to a healthcare provider, making regular checks inconvenient and potentially delaying diagnosis.

By placing a finger over the smartphone's camera for one minute, the app measures heart rhythm and provides immediate, actionable results. The app also allows users to track weight and blood pressure, providing a more complete cardiovascular risk profile. This allows for convenient, regular heart rhythm checks, facilitating early detection and management of arrhythmias.
