## Description

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is one of most common heart rhythm disorders and increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, both leading causes of death.
The Photo AFib Detector was designed for personal AFib detection and Heart Rate monitoring.
It uses smartphone's inbuilt back camera to capture your fingertip video for PPG signal extraction and then estimate two parameters of RMSSD (Root Mean Square of Successive Difference) and ShE (Shannon Entropy) for AFib detection. It also provide heart-rate monitoring function with percentage of your maximum heart rate if you have input your age in the setting.

Note: This App is not to be used for medical diagnosis. Please consult your physician if in doubt.

## Review summary

User reviews show mixed results: the app offers free basic features and some users report improvements in the latest version, but widespread reliability problems persist. Readings are often unreliable or unreadable due to interference, and certain devices (notably newer iPhones with multiple cameras) struggle to work. Ads degrade the experience. Overall, it should not be used as a medical diagnosis tool and should be used cautiously as a supplementary home-monitoring aid.

### Pros

- Free basic features compared with paid heart-monitor apps
- Perceived reliability improvements in the newer version vs. the old app
- Some users used it for home AFib monitoring as a supplementary check

### Cons

- Unreliable/inconsistent readings and frequent false negatives/positives during AFib
- Interference and unreadable readings; long reading times and frequent resets
- Compatibility issues on newer iPhones (e.g., X or devices with multiple cameras)
- Ad-heavy experience that disrupts usage
- Not intended for medical diagnosis; results may be misleading and should not replace professional care
