PulsePilot — Demo video

PulsePilot estimates heart rate from an ordinary webcam — no wearable, no contact. It runs the pretrained FacePhys rPPG model over live video to extract a pulse waveform, while continuously checking the things that usually ruin a measurement: lighting, head movement, face position, and signal quality. When quality drops, it gives one concrete instruction at a time (e.g. hold still, change the lighting) and shows whether that adjustment actually improved the signal. Users can view a live pulse waveform, a face heatmap visualising the model's attention, and heart-rate estimates clearly separated into preliminary vs. accepted values. At the end of a session they get a report of heart-rate trends, signal-quality timelines, and the adjustments made, exportable as JSON or print. PulsePilot is a research prototype: it is not clinically validated and does not diagnose any condition, and it is explicit about that in the product.
