Vladislav Zhuzha's profile on Product Hunt

About

I'm Vladislav Zhuzha, a Systems/IT engineer from Kazakhstan, a graduate of Samara University with a degree in Fundamental Informatics and Information Technology. With over five years in graphic design and a year and a half as a network engineer behind me, I feel equally confident working on infrastructure and on the visual side of a product. I administer Linux, configure networks and video surveillance, deploy and maintain services, write code, and do development work. This blend of engineering and design thinking lets me see technology not just as a tool, but as a way to make products both convenient and visually appealing.

Building a heart-rate monitor for Mac without a wearable – what we learned

Hey ph

I'm launching GlowPulse on June 2nd a menu-bar app for mac that reads your heart rate from the built-in camera (rPPG, no wearable). Started as a python prototype, rewrote in swift, took a detour through CoreML.

Some things i didn't expect:

- vision face detection every 10 frames creates a ~90 bpm ghost peak right inside the heart-rate band fixed by running every frame with ema-smoothed bounding box (=0.35);

I'm the Product Hunt CEO - tell me your tagline and I'll fix it for you :)

I m the @Product Hunt CEO, I ve launched 7 times on PH, and helped countless friends prep their launches. The most common mistake I see is a confusing tagline. Launching on Product Hunt soon? Tell me your tagline and I ll fix it for you :)
