Heart Rate Monitor: BP Tracker

* How to note BPM readings
- Place your index finger as gently as possible on the lens of the phone's back camera.
- Rotate the finger to completely cover the LED flash, but avoid touching it because it might get very hot when switched on.
- Press the START button, then wait 10 seconds before reading the final BPM value.
- This heart rate is within the ACC % range.
If the dispersion surpasses 10%, move your finger slightly and repeat the operation.
As seen in the image above, the waveform must be homogeneous and have a regular pattern.
