Accuracy of heart rate variability estimated with reflective wrist-PPG in elderly vascular patients.

ABSTRACT: Optical heart rate monitoring (OHR) with reflective wrist photoplethysmography is a technique mainly used in the wellness application domain for monitoring heart rate levels during exercise. In the absence of motion, OHR technique is also able to estimate individual beat-to-beat intervals relatively well and can therefore also be used, for example, in monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias, stress, or sleep quality through heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. HRV analysis has also potential in monitoring the recovery of patients, e.g. after a medical intervention. However, in order to detect subtle changes, the calculated HRV parameters should be sufficiently accurate and very few studies exist that asses the accuracy of OHR derived HRV in non-healthy subjects. In this paper, we present a met
