This application for Android phones measures oxygen saturation changes in your blood. On every heart beat your blood becomes more oxygen rich which causes a slight change in the color of your skin. The camera in your mobile phone tracks that changes and calculates your heart rate. It works similar way as a medical pulse oximeter but without a dedicated light source.
