Key result
The Cardiio smartphone app demonstrated very strong agreement with a pulse oximeter for measuring heart rate from the finger (r=0.99) and face (r=0.97) at rest and after exercise.

Does the Cardiio smartphone application accurately measure heart rate compared to an FDA-cleared pulse oximeter in healthy adults at rest and after exercise?
Effect estimate: r = 0.99 for finger, r = 0.97 for face
The Cardiio smartphone application provides accurate heart rate measurements from the finger and face, both at rest and after exercise, compared to a standard pulse oximeter.
Poh et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy adults (n=40). Cardiio smartphone application (imaging photoplethysmography) vs. FDA-cleared finger pulse oximeter was evaluated on Accuracy of heart rate measurement (r = 0.99 for finger, r = 0.97 for face). The Cardiio smartphone app demonstrated very strong agreement with a pulse oximeter for measuring heart rate from the finger (r=0.99) and face (r=0.97) at rest and after exercise.
