measuring heartbeat rate with Android device

How can I implement Android code to measure the heartbeat rate with the camera? I could not find any tutorials about creating an Android heartbeat monitor. I would be more than happy if you can suggest any tutorials or Github repositories that can teach how to create an Android heartbeat monitor application. Thank you

There are two main approaches to do this task. Use the camera information as a Oximeter and measure blood flow, you can do it with the average intensity when camera is covered with finger, or you can use face and some filter like Eulerian Magnification or Optical Flow to extract that information. I develop an App called Nami - Heart Rate that measure heart rate like a stethoscope, from audio stuff, and I apply the same methods with camera and the results was very good. So, the EVM method works like a charm when users keep then calm and static, with no lights or scene variations.
