Cardiogram: HR Monitor 8.9

The Cardiogram app presents itself as a modern and minimalistic solution for real-time heart rate monitoring. Its user-friendly interface allows individuals to effortlessly initiate tracking by simply powering on their sensor and launching the application.

A notable aspect of Cardiogram is its commitment to user privacy. The application does not necessitate account creation; all data is stored locally on the device, which significantly mitigates the risks associated with data breaches and privacy concerns. Users can rest assured that their personal information remains confidential, as it is solely integrated within the iPhone and Apple Health ecosystem.

Integrating seamlessly with Apple HealthKit, Cardiogram records and syncs heart-rate data efficiently.

Key Features:

• Full control over personal data
• Synchronization with Apple Health
• Ability to record various workouts including walking, running, and cycling
• No requirement for location services
• Low energy consumption
• No account needed

This application allows users to monitor their heart rhythms across different scenarios such as:

• Throughout the day to identify potential heart rate anomalies
• During sleep monitoring
• While engaging in fitness routines or cardio exercises
• Assessing stress or anxiety levels through resting heart rate measurements

Cardiogram's compatibility extends to a variety of modern heart rate monitors utilizing Bluetooth 4.0 (Smart or LE). It has demonstrated commendable consistency when tested with multiple devices, including Polar sensors (OH1, H10, H7).

The app is recommended for use with:

• Garmin HRM-Dual or HRM-Pro
• Polar OH1, H10, and H7
• Cardiosport TP3
• R1 Blue Sigma Sport
• Wahoo TICKR
• CooSpo heart rate monitors
• Magene H303 Heart Rate Monitor

Employing a medical-grade algorithm, Cardiogram calculates heart rate thresholds automatically and alerts users when they approach their maximum heart rate limit. All sessions are documented and can later be analyzed using intuitive graph charts. To streamline the viewing experience, the app retains only sessions exceeding two minutes; transient checks of heart rate are not recorded in the history log.

The application employs color-coded visual cues during workouts:

• Light green: Fitness Zone (50 to 60% of maximum heart rate); ideal for cardiovascular training.
• Green: Fat Burning and Aerobic Zone (60 to 80% of maximum heart rate); promotes endurance through metabolic efficiency.
• Yellow: Anaerobic Zone (80 to 90% of maximum heart rate); effective for muscle development and enhanced athletic performance.
• Red: Near maximum heart rate (over 90%); this zone poses risks and should be approached with caution, typically under professional supervision during competitive training.

DISCLAIMER!
The intention of this application is not to provide medical diagnoses or treatments. Users should refrain from making medical decisions based on app data without consulting a healthcare professional.
