Test-Retest Reliability and Concurrent Validity of Photoplethysmography Finger Sensor to Collect Measures of Heart Rate Variability.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the current study was to determine the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of a photoplethysmography (PPG) finger sensor when collecting heart rate variability (HRV) metrics in reference to electrocardiography (ECG) and heart rate monitor (HRM) devices. Five minutes of R-R interval data were collected from 45 participants (23 females; age: 23.13 ± 4.45 yrs; body mass index: 25.39 ± 4.13 kg/m²) in the supine and seated positions in testing sessions 48 h apart. Moderate-to-excellent test-retest reliability of the HRV data collected from the PPG sensor was identified (ICC_2,1 = 0.60-0.93). Additionally, similar standard errors of the mean, coefficient of variation, and minimal detectable change metrics were observed across all devices. St
