Medical Disclaimer

Heart Rate Hero is NOT a medical device and is not intended for medical use. This app is designed for wellness, fitness, and informational purposes only.

The app uses your iPhone's camera to estimate heart rate through photoplethysmography (PPG) technology. While this technology can provide useful wellness information, it has limitations and should never replace professional medical care.

Always consult qualified healthcare professionals in the following situations:

• Pre-existing Conditions: If you have known heart conditions, diabetes, or other health issues
• Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• Exercise Programs: Before starting new exercise routines, especially if you have health conditions

While Heart Rate Hero uses advanced algorithms and has been tested for accuracy, several factors can affect readings:

Heart Rate Hero cannot detect all types of heart rhythm abnormalities. If you suspect you have an irregular heartbeat or other cardiac condition, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
