Even though Android applications are much more present in this moment on the market, as I said in a previous article on our site, iPhone applications are 60 percent better rewarded. They are more exclusively, quality maybe. This also look like the case of the 1.99 application called Skip a Bit, which is a game in which the gameplay is controlled by your… heartbeat! The application was made up by a Dutch startup and it has, of course, a lot of positive intentions.

Helps people with heart conditions

The main fact is that you can control and keep a normal and healthy heart rate through the way you see things and feel them. So, this way, Happitech, the company behind the invention aims to make people learn to control their heartbeat also outside this game. For sure, this is an important starting point. Also, it definitely can help people with heart conditions by giving them a more fun and less intimidating way to monitor their heart rate throughout the day.

The purpose

To reveal a bit the full intentions of the company behind this system, let us read the statement gave by Yosef Harb, CEO and founder of Happitech, the company which came up with Skip a Beat: "The main goal is to make you aware of your heart rate. What happens when you have too much coffee, bad sleep, a very good breakfast. It's a combination of awareness meets quantified self."
