Steemhunter Assistive Technology Digest - October 02, 2018
compiled by @holovision for @assistive.tech
Following are some recent items found by steemhunters that potentially deal with assistive technology devices or services. These are not endorsements. This is presented in this digest to show what is available and possible for people with disabilities. Also, by starting a regular digest it might hopefully encourage more steemhunters to keep the category of assistive technology devices and services in mind as they continue to hunt for more items in the future.

3. Cardiograph: Measures Heart Rate
Link: https://steemhunt.com/@basilrao/cardiograph-measures-heart-rate
The steemhunt description states that this app can use the camera of a smartphone to measure heart rate. I can't find any accuracy percentage but if this app works then it should be an effective way to measure and record heart activity.
