For the health-conscious geeks, now you can make use of your iPhone to monitor your heart beats.
The iPhone Heart Monitor is an application for the iPhone which uses the built-in microphone of the iPhone 3G or the headphone microphone, to listen to your heart beats. This heart beat monitoring application picks up the rate of your heart beats and display it on the iPhone’s touchscreen.
You can simply place the iPhone at those pulse points such as your neck, wrist etc. Or you can place it directly over your heart which can be done either with or without the headphones.
This app is handy for those who’re overly worried of any early heart disease. Or it at least gives you little clue about your fitness level. But it must not be mistaken as a medical device.
