HridyaCare is a browser-based, family-centric digital health platform designed to make heart health, stress, lifestyle, and environmental health monitoring accessible to everyone, using just a smartphone and the web.
It is built with a strong focus on individuals, families, elderly members, and caregivers, enabling shared awareness and proactive health monitoring within households.
No wearables. No subscriptions. No hospital visits for basic screening.
HridyaCare is currently under active development.
Several features are functional, while others are being continuously refined, expanded, and validated.
The platform should be viewed as an evolving health monitoring and awareness system, not a finished commercial product.
Heart rate monitoring in HridyaCare relies on the smartphone camera and flash (rPPG technique).
Since most laptops and desktops do not support continuous camera flash, this feature is fully supported only on mobile devices.
For the best accuracy and reliability, users are strongly advised to access HridyaCare on a smartphone.
Today’s health monitoring solutions are often:
- Device-dependent (require wearables)
- Data-heavy but insight-poor (numbers without interpretation)
- Expensive or inaccessible, especially in rural, remote, or low-resource regions
As a result, individuals and families often become aware of health risks only after symptoms escalate.
HridyaCare bridges this gap by combining real-time physiological signals, lifestyle patterns, stress assessment, and environmental factors to provide clear, human-readable health insights — instantly.
- Measures heart rate using a phone camera (rPPG-based)
- Links health with real-world context (AQI, lifestyle, age)
- Includes clinically recognized stress assessment
- Provides actionable insights, not just raw data
- Works on any browser-enabled smartphone
- Optional telehealth support with verified health coaches
- Designed as a family-centric platform, enabling shared health awareness and care
- Real-time heart rate measurement using smartphone camera (rPPG-based)
- No wearables required
- Achieved accuracy:

- Stores the last 7 heart rate measurements for short-term tracking
- Displays clear trends: upward, downward, or steady
- Focuses on trends rather than isolated readings
- Context-aware guidance:
- Upward trend: rest, hydration, breathing exercises, reduced pollution exposure
- Downward trend: recovery and normalization
- Steady trend: stable condition, maintain habits
- Uniquely integrates real-time city AQI to show environmental impact on heart rate
- Instant access to verified health coaches for guidance
- Insights designed after reviewing multiple peer-reviewed research studies
- Fetches real-time city AQI
- Displays:
- AQI
- PM2.5
- PM10
- Explains how air pollution influences cardiovascular stress
- Converts environmental data into health impact insights
- Uses the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
- Developed by Cohen et al. (1983)
- Clinically validated and globally recognized
- Measures:
- Perceived unpredictability
- Lack of control
- Mental overload
- 10-question assessment
- Generates an easy-to-understand stress score
- Categorizes results into 5 distinct stress levels

- JavaScript (ES Modules)
- Chart.js
- Flask (Python)
- REST APIs
- PostgreSQL
- AQICN / WAQI API
- Uses authenticated
AQICN_API_TOKEN - Fetches real-time AQI using geographic coordinates
- For India, data is sourced from CPCB government monitoring stations
- Enables correlation between air pollution and cardiovascular stress
- No medical diagnosis claims
- User data remains private
- Coach access only after admin verification
- Designed as a decision-support system, not a replacement for doctors
- Breaks the wealth and access barrier in healthcare
- Enables early awareness before conditions worsen
- Supports family-level health awareness and care
- Promotes:
- Proactive monitoring
- Preventive care
- Personalized insights
- Anyone with a smartphone and browser can access professional-grade health insights
- Long-term trend prediction for cardiovascular risk awareness
- Personalized alerts based on health and environmental trends
- Integration with public health systems
- Expanded environmental indicators (heat, pollution, lifestyle)
Currently:
- No unified government platform continuously links heart health with real-time environmental data
- Public health monitoring for elderly populations is often infrequent and reactive
HridyaCare aims to bridge this gap through continuous, family-centric, at-home monitoring and timely guidance.
HridyaCare is a health monitoring and awareness platform.
It does not provide medical diagnoses and should not replace professional medical consultation.
