Examining the Light Heart Mobile Device App for Assessing Human Pulse Interval and Heart Rate Variability: Validation Study

Examining the Light Heart Mobile Device App for Assessing Human Pulse Interval and Heart Rate Variability: Validation Study

This section reports the beat-by-beat data from 5-minute pulse interval recordings in the seated posture in all individuals. Figure 1 illustrates superimposed recordings of 1 minute of pulse interval data simultaneously recorded by Light Heart and ECG, for 1 representative participant. Visual assessment of these data tracings illustrates that the pulse interval recorded by Light Heart demonstrates strong beat-to-beat agreement with the pulse interval detected by ECG.

The Accuracy of Pulse Oxygen Saturation, Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, and Respiratory Rate Raised by a Contactless Telehealth Portal: Validation Study

The Accuracy of Pulse Oxygen Saturation, Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, and Respiratory Rate Raised by a Contactless Telehealth Portal: Validation Study

With the introduction of photoplethysmography-based pulse oximeters, HR and Sp O2 can easily be monitored using a single device, and respiration is often monitored visually or through separate devices as required. A single device that can monitor all 3 signs is a desirable diagnostic tool for emergency medicine and for the monitoring as well as diagnosis of other diseases [5].

Diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation Using Machine Learning With Wearable Devices After Cardiac Surgery: Algorithm Development Study

Diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation Using Machine Learning With Wearable Devices After Cardiac Surgery: Algorithm Development Study

We previously measured pulse rate in patients after cardiac surgery wearing 2 wearable devices and showed that heart rate in sinus rhythm correlated well with pulse rate measured by wearable devices; however, during AF, the accuracy was slightly lower, but the pulse rate tracking was accurate enough for clinical applications [14]. Further innovations in wearable devices have led to the technology of single-lead ECG collection.

Equity-Driven Sensing System for Measuring Skin Tone–Calibrated Peripheral Blood Oxygen Saturation (OptoBeat): Development, Design, and Evaluation Study

Equity-Driven Sensing System for Measuring Skin Tone–Calibrated Peripheral Blood Oxygen Saturation (OptoBeat): Development, Design, and Evaluation Study

Using the camera built into most smartphones, we can calibrate for variance in skin tone that is not sufficiently captured by commodity pulse oximeters. In this paper, we introduce the equity-driven design of Opto Beat, a novel, ultra–low-cost smartphone-based pulse oximeter. Opto Beat can determine a coefficient to normalize pulse oximetry readings for differences in skin tone. Opto Beat can measure Sp O2 within 1% accuracy of the gold standard.

Adherence to Telemonitoring Therapy for Medicaid Patients With Hypertension: Case Study

Adherence to Telemonitoring Therapy for Medicaid Patients With Hypertension: Case Study

BP: blood pressure; CC: clinical contact; P: pulse; PCP: primary care physician. The telemonitoring company provided historical telemonitoring data for Texas Medicaid clients using their service. Only clients with 180 days or more of home telemonitoring were included in this study. The first 30 days were regarded as a startup period during which the patients learned to use the equipment to measure their vital signs.

Real-Time Monitoring of Blood Pressure Using Digitalized Pulse Arrival Time Calculation Technology for Prompt Detection of Sudden Hypertensive Episodes During Laryngeal Microsurgery: Retrospective Observational Study

Real-Time Monitoring of Blood Pressure Using Digitalized Pulse Arrival Time Calculation Technology for Prompt Detection of Sudden Hypertensive Episodes During Laryngeal Microsurgery: Retrospective Observational Study

Pulse arrival time (PAT), measured as the interval from the R-peak on an electrocardiogram (ECG) to the peripheral arrival of the pulse wave, has been used as an estimate for pulse transit time and may be a noninvasive marker for BP [9-14]. Recent advancements in technology enabled adjustment for confounding factors (eg, heart rate, arterial stiffness, and pre-ejection time) in estimating BP from PAT [9,15,16].

Accuracy of Optical Heart Rate Sensing Technology in Wearable Fitness Trackers for Young and Older Adults: Validation and Comparison Study

Accuracy of Optical Heart Rate Sensing Technology in Wearable Fitness Trackers for Young and Older Adults: Validation and Comparison Study

In addition, age-related changes such as arterial stiffness can influence the pulse shape in PPG [32]. Therefore, appropriate validation of these devices for different age groups among non-white participants is imperative. This study evaluated the heart rate reading performances of 2 commercially available fitness trackers in various settings using a second-by-second data acquisition approach.
