I'm Michal, the founder of HeartScan, a heart-monitoring tool that uses just a smartphone’s built-in accelerometer—no camera, no wearables, no special sensors required.
🔥 Why I Built This
A few years ago, after a stressful business dispute and forced relocation from Minsk to Warsaw, I started experiencing worrying chest pains. Doctors couldn’t provide clear answers, and typical diagnostics were inconclusive.
Frustrated and worried, I used my background in radiophysics and MATLAB to analyze my heart vibrations with my phone’s accelerometer. Shockingly, I discovered extra heartbeats (PVCs) and visualized my heart's valve movements—revealing insights standard methods missed. That moment sparked HeartScan.
Fast-forward: We've now recorded over 500,000 sessions and labeled 7700 hours of real-world heart data, achieving 97%+ accuracy benchmarked against ECG devices.
🚀 What We Offer
We’ve packaged this powerful technology into a simple, lightweight API so you can integrate real heart rate checks directly into your web app or site:
- Zero hardware costs: Uses existing smartphone accelerometers.
- Simple setup: Just a few lines of code.
- High accuracy: ML-powered cardiac phase detection.
1000 free measurements/month for any site or app.
💻 How It Works
Your users simply place their phone on their chest, and in about 10 seconds our API returns their precise heart rate data.
API Response Example:
{
"bpm": 72,
