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.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://research.google/blog/towards-passive-heart-health-monitoring-via-smartphone-camera/:

> With our publication, we release the largest and most diverse dataset of smartphone videos publicly available for research along with a pre-trained "PHRM-mini" model.
