How do I perform a good measurement?

We list some tips for you to help you to perform a good measurement:

Tip 1: Sit down quietly

Sit quietly, let your arms rest on a flat surface (e.g. a table) during the measurement, stay still and try not to talk.

Tip 2: Don't apply too much pressure on the camera

Do not apply too much pressure when placing your finger on the camera. Just a gentle touch is fine! If you press too hard, FibriCheck will not be able to analyse your measurement. 

Tip 3: Remove the case of your smartphone

If you have a protective case around your smartphone please remove it. This improve the contact between your finger and the lens of the camera. 

Tip 4: Cover the lens of the camera, not the flash

There is no need to place your finger on the flash. The light can get hot in certain cases. 

Tip 5: If there are multiple cameras

The camera closest to the flash is most of the time the correct camera.
