Check Your Heartbeat With Your iPhone

A man named Peter Bentley has developed an application called iStethoscope which monitors your heartbeat via sensors in the phone. This free application has been averaging at 500 downloads a day since it launched last week. There's also a pro version for 59 pence which removes ads, adds an email function and includes a hints and tips section.

The official blurb for the app in the App Store, states iStethoscope "turns your iPhone into a stethoscope, allowing you to listen to your heartbeat and see your heart waveform, or listen to other quiet sounds around you" and that the device is "used by cardiologists for research on heart disease as described in the Journal of Medical Devices".�
