Accurate under any conditions
Philips Heart Rate features robust signal processing algorithms that deliver accurate results robust to ambient light, motion and the wearer’s age or skin type. Our heart rate algorithm has been extensively validated and covers both CTA and Android Wear criteria. And when matched with appropriate sensing hardware, Heart Rate delivers results equivalent to an ECG chest band sensor, enabling FDA Class II certification for medical applications.
Low power
Wide range of metrics
First introduced to the market in 2013, Philips heart rate initially only supported heart rate measurement. This has been continuously expanded, and today, the software library now includes 14 different metrics, with more under development, making Philips the leading provider of Cardio and Motion Measurement solutions.
The complete list of metrics included in the library are:
