Daily allergy burden and heart rate characteristics in adults with allergic rhinitis based on a wearable telemonitoring system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Allergic rhinitis includes a certain degree of autonomic imbalance. However, no information is available on how daily changes in allergy burden affect autonomic imbalance. We aimed to estimate associations between daily allergy burden (allergy symptoms and mood) and daily heart rate characteristics (resting heart rate and sample entropy, both biomarkers of autonomic balance) of adults with allergic rhinitis, based on real-world measurements with a wearable telemonitoring system.

Methods

Adults with a tree pollen allergy used a smartphone application to self-report daily allergy symptoms (score 0-44) and mood (score 0-4), and a Mio Alpha 2 wristwatch to collect heart rate characteristics during two pollen seasons of hazel, alder and birch in Belgium. Associations b
