Google's going to use the Camera to help measure your health indicators

So, I love my Google Fit (and the fact that they've bought Fitbit) - working from home has really had a detriment on my health, and Fit reminding me how bad it is.

I have my Wear OS with the heart rate monitor, activity monitoring, I have a QardioArm to measure my blood pressure and the QardioBase to monitor my weight.  Eep...

Google is making some of that measurement even easier with an upcoming feature for Fit with "mobile vitals" by just using something EVERY phone has - a camera.


The camera will be able to measure your respiratory rate with your front camera reading your face and then measure heart rate with your finger on the rear camera.

Interesting.

Coming to Pixel devices next month, and then others furhter down the road.
