# HeartRateTap

> HeartRateTap is a browser wellness tool that estimates BPM from taps made while a person manually feels their own pulse; it is not a sensor or medical device.

## Key facts

- The user finds a pulse and taps once per beat; the browser does not detect a heartbeat.
- BPM is calculated as 60,000 divided by the average milliseconds between consecutive taps.
- Target ranges are formula-based planning references, not individualized exercise prescriptions or medical clearance.
- Recovery results are arithmetic differences between documented time points, not diagnoses or pass/fail scores.
- The active calculation keeps up to 16 tap timestamps and checks recent 5- and 10-second windows.
- Ten taps are an interface prompt for a more repeatable sample, not a validated accuracy threshold.
- No accuracy percentage or medical-device validation study has been published as of August 11, 2026.
- Locked values can be stored locally in the browser; clearing site data can remove that history.
- HeartRateTap cannot diagnose rhythm problems or measure blood pressure, blood oxygen, pulse strength, or electrical activity.
