Once dating app uses your heart-rate to find your match
Ever felt like your heart skipped a beat when you meet someone you’re attracted to?
That adrenaline rush or sudden change of heartbeat is utilized by an app called Once. The relatively new dating app, which reached 600,000 users in just four months, uses your heart-rate to help you find your ‘match’. This is made possible with the just announced Fitbit and Android Wear integration.
The app works by offering the user a single potential suitor or ‘match’ every day. These ‘matches’ though are curated by human match makers who check out your profile and those of other people you’ve liked in the past to determine who you might like next from the Once database.
With this new fitness tracker integration, users can now sync their Fitbit or Android Wear to the app and see their heart-rate in real-time as they take a glimpse of the day’s match. In the updated version of the app, users will even be able to send their heart rate to that match, as reported by Tech Crunch.
Users who don't own wearable tech heart monitors can still use the Once dating app.
Once founder and CEO Jean Meyer said he built the app to offer a ‘slow dating’ option in the European dating scene. “Either the dating platforms are too complex, aimed toward an older demographic or they are focused on casual dating and hook ups,” Meyer added.
For now the app is only available in the UK, France and Spain, and there is no timeline yet for availability in the U.S.
