Abstract

The limited smart phone battery and computational resources demand efficient and low-power consumption algorithms for the instantaneous heart rate detection using phone built-in camera. A phase detector based method is proposed to improve the performance of heart rate detection software using built-in camera. The pulse wave detected by the camera is multiplied by a sine wave reference signal and then processed by a low pass filter to extract phase. The instantaneous heart rate is calculated based on the phase difference between every two adjacent cycles. Experimental results on an Android smart phone indicated that there is no obvious difference of instantaneous heart rate between the new method and the ECG method. Compared with derivative based and filter bank based algorithm the new algorithm consume less phone resource and obtain instantaneous heart rate more quickly.
