Now your heart rate will be known through Earbuds and Headphones, google tested this technology
Seeing the increasing use of headphones and earbuds, google has developed a technology with the help of which you will be able to know your heart rate through these two devices. Know how.
The use of wireless earbuds and headphones is increasing day by day
People are using these gadgets everywhere including meetings, metro, and buses. Given the increasing use of hearable gadgets, google has developed a technology with the help of which you will be able to know your heart rate through Earbuds and Headphones. That means, along with listening to songs, you will also be able to know your health status.
According to a report
Google scientists have successfully tested Audioplethysmography (APG). In this, a person's heart rate is measured through wearables with the help of ultrasound. The good thing is that no additional sensor is required for this, hence there is no impact on the battery of the wearables. Google scientists conducted this study on 153 people and shared this experience after about 2 rounds. According to the study, the APG consistently achieves accurate heart rate (3.21 percent average error across participants across all activity scenarios) and heart rate variability (2.70 percent average error in inter-beat interval) measurements. That means there is not much error in it.
According to , the company said that we have introduced the latest active in-ear health sensing method. APG enables ANC wearables to monitor users' physiological signals, such as heart rate and heart rate variability, without adding additional sensors or compromising battery life. Audioplethysmography meets safety regulations with an 80DB margin below the threshold is unaffected by seal position and includes all skin tones.
Earbuds and headphones will start telling heart rate with a software update
According to the blog post, APG transforms any True Wireless Stereo (TWS) active noise-canceling headphones into smart sensing headphones with a simple software upgrade and works seamlessly across a variety of user activities. The sensing carrier signal is completely inaudible and is not affected by music playing.
