You know all about the iPhone’s touch sensitivity. Now, let’s go a step beyond. You place the iPhone on strategic locations of your body and see what it does.

No, we ain’t talking about any GPS trackers implemented on your body. All we are talking about is an app which makes the iPhone listen to your heart. Literally so.

Launch the app that unleashes the true power of the iPhone! (at least about its microphones). This healthcare app makes an innovative use of the iPhone’s microphones. What it does is simple enough yet innovative enough. It basically uses your iPhone 3G as a stethoscope.

All you need to do is to place the iPhone’s microphone just below your jaw, or over your wrist.  You just need the basic mediacl ideas about how do the pulse rates work.

Of course in a quiet place and with the headphone it works even better.

What happens is that this healthcare uses these sounds to keep detect your heart rates.  You get  to see the display in terms of pulse counts and as a plus, you can keep track of your recent results.

That’s innovative. This “iStheoscope” is certainly a good way to constantly monitor your heartbeats under different circumstances.

I just wish the app had a journal feature so that I could jot down the instances where my heart beats faster (or slower)- for instance, after a meeting with my boss!
