Could you build this?
Partial Building a mobile UI is simple, but photoplethysmography (PPG) using a camera sensor requires precise signal processing algorithms to filter noise, detect pulse peaks, and calculate accurate HRV metrics.
What it would actually take: Requires Swift/iOS AVFoundation to capture high-framerate, uncompressed camera frames with the torch active. Hard parts involve real-time computer vision and digital signal processing (bandpass filtering, FFT/wavelet analysis for rPPG, and artifact rejection) to extract inter-beat intervals (IBI) and calculate SDNN/RMSSD confidence scores accurately under varying skin tones and hand movement.
