Ease Down, a 90-second pulse-and-breath ritual
An iPhone wellness app that reads an approximate pulse through the camera, guides a haptic breathing exercise, and compares a second reading.
Field notes
Ease Down structures the session as baseline reading, haptic breathing, an optional focus exercise, and a second reading, with approximate durations of 15, 60, and 15 seconds for the required stages. Its camera method uses fingertip colour changes detected beside the rear-camera flash, while frames are described as read and discarded on the iPhone. The page also says check-in numbers remain within the user’s iCloud and that compatible broadcast heart-rate sensors can replace the camera.
