Heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used to analyze stress, anxiety, and depression in persons suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Heart rate can be visualized using micro-movements in the skin using the Euler video magnification (EVM) method. HRV may be used to help persons with startle reactions associated with PTSD. This paper examines how heart rate can be captured from video using a tool designed for use by therapists and social workers that treat PTSD sufferers. We tested the tool against subjects with known heart rates taken using a fitness monitor. Also, the tool was tested against YouTube videos of individuals talking about their experiences with PTSD. Results showed that the tool was able to depict decreases in heart rate variability for individuals in the YouTube videos. However, the tool could not process videos with darker skinned individuals in our accuracy study.
