HR measurements from all applications were correlated well with ECG monitoring. However, it was less accurate in case of irregular rhythm such as atrial fibrillation. Key messages Several reports on inaccuracy of mobile health apps have been published. We conducted the validation study in the real patients by using popular mobile apps. Heart rate measurements from mobile apps were correlated well with standard ECG. The accuracy of HR from apps was worse at irregular rate and tachycardia.
