Feasibility of heart rate monitoring in hemodialysis patients using visible imaging: a pilot study

Key takeaways

Researchers tested whether an ordinary video camera can read heart rate in people during dialysis, with nothing touching the skin. This was a pilot, a small first test of whether the idea works at all, and the report does not give the number of patients. Contact-free monitoring could in theory catch heart rate trouble during a session. This study only shows the method is workable, not that it helps anyone.
