During a measurement, the SDK emits events to inform the application of the progress of the PPG measurement. Events will only be emitted after a measurement is started using the startMeasurement
SDK Method.
The following code examples demonstrate how to listen for events on each platform. The examples feature the onFingerDetected
events. Subscribing to other events is similar.
Description
The user's finger is correctly placed on the smartphone camera.
Frequency
Can be emitted multiple times if a user moves their finger.
When
Before measurement, during measurement, after measurement
Data
/
Description
The user's finger is no longer present on the camera. When the finger is removed, the measurement is paused until the finger is detected again.
Frequency
Can be emitted multiple times if a user moves their finger placement on the camera. Happens after a onFingerDetected
event.
When
Before measurement, during measurement, after measurement
Data
y[number]
- Luminance
v[number]
- Red chrominance
stdDevY[number]
- Luminance standard deviation
Description
The user's finger has not been detected within the set time. This event is disabled by default.
Frequency
Once per measurement
When
Before measurement
Data
/
Description
Emitted when a pulse has been detected. The pulse detection is only active after the finger detection has been completed.
Frequency
Once per measurement
When
Before the measurement
Data
/
Description
Emitted when no pulse has been detected after 10 seconds.
Frequency
once per measurement
When
Before the measurement
Data
/
Info
This is an informational event, it's not required to implement this event. The measurement process will continue independent of a pulse being detected.
Description
When performing a measurement, a baseline needs to be calculated. When this baseline has been calculated, the calibration is ready and the SDK will emit this event.
Frequency
Once per measurement
When
Before measurement
Data
/
Description
Emitted when the PPG measurement has successfully started started.
Frequency
Once per measurement
When
Before the measurement
Data
/
Description
Emitted when a heartbeat is detected. Returns the heart rate as a number.
Frequency
Multiple times per measurement, emitted on every change in heart rate
When
During the measurement
Data
heartrate[number]
Description
Emitted every time when a PPG signal has been successfully extracted from a camera image. It can be used to draw a graph or analyse the data during the measurement.
Frequency
Multiple times per measurement, typically around 30 times per second during the measurement.
When
Before and during the measurement.
Data
ppg[number]
- filtered PPG value
raw[number]
- raw PPG value
Use the ppg
value when you want to visualise a chart to the user
When acting on this event it's important to measure the performance of the application while measuring. Especially in cross-platform environments (Flutter, React Native, Cordova) it's possible that the bridging layer is not fast enough to handle the amount of data that this event generates.
The range of PPG values reported by this event can vary greatly between different devices and depends on ambient lightning conditions. If you want to plot the PPG values, keep these recommendations:
Only plot the latest x samples
Use dynamic ranges for the y-axis of the visualization to account for differences in device specifications and conditions.
Description
Emitted when the SDK detects movement of the phone.
Depends on the value of movementDetectionEnabled
, which is true
by default
Frequency
Multiple times per measurement
When
During the measurement
Data
/
Description
Emitted to update the application on the time remaining in seconds for the measurement to complete.
Frequency
Every second during the measurement
When
During the measurement
Data
timeRemaining[number]
Description
Emitted when the measurement has finished. After this event, the SDK starts processing the measurement.
Frequency
Once
When
After the measurement
Data
Description
Emitted when a measurement error occurs. The measurement wil stop.
Possible errors:
BROKEN_ACC_SENSOR
- Can happen on iOS devices, ask the user to reboot the device if this happens.
Frequency
Once
When
During the measurement
Data
Error[string]
Description
Emitted when the measurement has been processed. The output of this event should be forwarded to the FibriCheck Cloud for further analysis by the FibriCheck Algorithm.
Frequency
Once
When
After the measurement
