Heart Buddy continuously monitors the heart rate and raises an alarm when it detects a low or high heart rate. This could be indicative of a seizure, a problem with a pacemaker, or other heart problems.
Heart Buddy is totally free: no subscriptions, no adverts, complete access to all advanced features. Heart Buddy is already helping people and it can help you too.
• Continuous, realtime monitoring of the heart rate throughout the whole night, the day and wherever you go.
• Customise Heart Buddys alarms: including those for high/low heart rates; low battery; signal loss; and more.
• Heart rates displayed on charts and updated as each heart rate is collected from the sensor.
• Heart Buddy be remotely controlled by a second Apple device over the Wi-Fi network to overcome the 10 metre limitation imposed by Bluetooth.
• Heart rates saved on the device and optionally in the cloud.
• Review heart rate charts from those saved in your history to spot patterns and gain valuable insight to heart rate behaviour.
• Share heart charts to your other devices, family, or email them to healthcare professionals.
• The Heart Zones feature keeps you informed of heart rate changes without even needing to look at the app.
• Optionally connect your phone/iPad to a bluetooth speaker to allow alarms to be heard remotely, elsewhere in the home.
COMPATIBLE HEART RATE SENSOR:
• Heart Buddy requires an external sensor to operate, such as: the Wahoo TickR Fit; Polar Heart Sensor; or any low-energy bluetooth (BTLE) heart rate sensor.
• The battery life for the Wahoo Tickr Fit sensor is up to 30 hours which means Heart Buddy can monitor the heart rate overnight without interruption.
• FitBit devices do not provide a continuous heart rate and are not suitable for monitoring the heart rate in real time.
