We're thrilled to announce a major update to iHeart, our popular heart rate monitoring application. This update introduces several exciting new features and significant performance improvements that will enhance your heart health tracking experience.

- Added front and back camera support - you need just put your finger over the camera to let iHeart gets you pulse rate.

One of the most exciting new features in this update is the expanded camera support for pulse rate detection. iHeart now utilizes both the front and back cameras of your device, making it even easier to measure your heart rate. Here's what this means for you:

  • Increased flexibility: Use whichever camera is most convenient for you.
  • Easier self-monitoring: The front camera option makes it simpler to check your pulse rate while looking at the screen.
  • Improved accuracy: The back camera, typically higher quality on most devices, can provide even more precise readings.
  • Simple process: Just place your finger over the camera lens, and iHeart will do the rest.

This feature makes heart rate monitoring more accessible and convenient than ever before.

- Core is rewritten with accelerate DSP framework.

We've made significant improvements under the hood by rewriting the core of iHeart using the accelerate DSP (Digital Signal Processing) framework. This technical upgrade brings several benefits:

  • Faster processing: The app can now analyze your heart rate data more quickly.
  • Improved accuracy: The DSP framework allows for more precise signal analysis, potentially leading to more accurate heart rate readings.
  • Enhanced efficiency: This optimization should result in reduced battery usage during heart rate monitoring sessions.
  • Smoother performance: You'll notice a more responsive app overall, especially during data processing and analysis.

- Added PDF reports, export, backup/restore, fallback points, iCloud and peer-to-peer sync, etc.

We've also introduced a suite of new features to make managing and analyzing your heart health data easier and more comprehensive:

  • PDF Reports: Generate detailed, easy-to-read PDF reports of your heart rate data, perfect for sharing with healthcare providers or keeping for your records.
  • Export Options: Easily export your data in various formats for use in other applications or for personal record-keeping.
  • Backup and Restore: Safeguard your valuable health data with easy backup and restore functionality.
  • Fallback Points: Never lose your data with our new fallback point system, ensuring your information is protected even in unexpected situations.
  • iCloud Sync: Keep your heart rate data synchronized across all your Apple devices effortlessly.
  • Peer-to-Peer Sync: Securely share or sync your data with trusted individuals, such as family members or healthcare providers.

These new features significantly enhance the functionality of iHeart, making it not just a heart rate monitor, but a comprehensive heart health management tool.
