Raw heart rate: is each beat measured, or just BPM? #24

Open C0NPAQ opened 5 years ago

C0NPAQ commented 5 years ago

This is not an issue with the code, just a question:

Is it possible with this watch or the Mi Band 3 to read each individual heart beat, so you could display your heart beating on screen in real time?

Or does the watch just output the averaged BPM in "raw data", as seen on its own display?

I ask this, because I have PVC arrhythmias. My heart skips a beat every 4th or 8th or 20th or whatever beat (it varies all the time, god knows why). I really need a watch that can output actual raw data one way or the other, not just averaged BPM, to monitor and understand my health condition.

You can get values right from sensor without any BPM calculation, but then you need to calculate all other things by yourself.
