About CheckMyBPM
Reviewed
CheckMyBPM explains heart rate numbers. You bring a number — from an app, a watch or your own count — and we show where it sits among people your age, using the CDC’s national reference data, plus the American Heart Association’s ranges and the common exercise formulas.
We are the small team that makes the Pulse: Heart Rate Monitor BPM iPhone app. The app reads your pulse through the camera; this website does not measure anything. We built the site because the question we hear most is not “what is my heart rate?” but “is that number normal for me?”.
What we do and don’t do
- We show reference data and arithmetic, with every source linked.
- We give general information, not medical advice. We report statistics about heart disease from public health agencies and published studies, with the date and the source. We never tell you that you have, or will get, a condition. When a number deserves a professional look, we say so plainly.
- We don’t collect what you type: the tools run in your browser.
- No doctor has reviewed this site, and we don’t claim one has. That is why every figure links to where it came from.
How we make money
Through the Pulse app: it is free to download with ads, and Pro is optional. There are no ads on this website and no paid placements.
