heart rate sensor

Cardiac rhythm tracker

A heart rate sensor is a device that detects and measures pulse, typically by monitoring blood flow optically through the skin or electrically through chest contact.

Found in fitness trackers, smartwatches, and medical equipment, these sensors track beats per minute during exercise, sleep, or health monitoring: My heart rate sensor showed 165 bpm on that last hill.
