Web cam used to detect abnormal heart rhythm

Sorry if already posted

There are a couple of iPhone apps that use the camera to detect heart rate from the face. They look at pulse wave.

I'm guessing this does the same thing.

I've used the Stress Doctor app to recognize afib visually. The key being the large heart rate variability as shown in links on this post: <[www.afibbers.org]
