Experimental, unvalidated
Pulsira’s estimates have not yet been clinically validated. The app labels every reading as experimental and says so plainly.
Research & validation
Measured against reality.
We think a health-adjacent app should earn trust with evidence, not slogans. Here’s where Pulsira stands today and how we test it.
A validation lab in the app
Anyone can compare a Pulsira reading with a reference device, such as a fingertip pulse oximeter or a chest strap, and record the difference locally.
Provenance on every record
Saved readings carry their source (camera or demo), signal quality and sample count, so results can be reviewed honestly later.
Our approach
What we measure, and what comes next.
- Agreement with reference devices across lighting, skin tones and motion levels.
- Clear refusal rules. When the signal isn’t good enough, Pulsira shows no number at all.
- Independent review before any accuracy figure is ever published.
- Wellness positioning unless and until regulatory requirements for medical claims are met.
Reference range in the lab
Comparisons accept reference values from 30 to 220 bpm and are blocked for demo signals, so test data can’t be mistaken for real results.
