Towards passive heart health monitoring via smartphone camera

Google Research introduces a passive heart rate monitoring system (PHRM) that uses a smartphone's front-facing camera to measure heart rate and resting heart rate from facial video during everyday use. The system achieves industry accuracy standards across all skin tones. A pre-trained model called PHRM-mini and a diverse dataset are released for research purposes, accessible to qualified researchers.
