Estimation of heart rate variability from heart rate measured with wristwatch‐type heart rate monitor

Abstract

HF and LF/HF, which are parameters of the frequency domain of the electrocardiogram R-R interval time series, are general index of the autonomic nervous activity balance. Most wristwatch-type heart-rate monitors measure heart rate from sphygmograph and interpolate missing data. These are the causes of reducing the calculation accuracy of LF and HF. The purpose of this study is to propose a method for estimating LF and HF calculated from the ECG R-R interval time series from the heart-rate time series at 1-s intervals measured by a wristwatchtype heart-rate monitor. Six hundred and seventy data-set with a length of 120 s measured simultaneously with an electrocardiogram and a wristwatch-type heart-rate monitor during standing cooking operation, up-right standing, watching slide show in standing posture, and resting supine position were used. Seventy percent dataset were used for modeling, and remaining 30% were used for evaluating model. As a result, the coefficient of determination of LF and HF were 0.441 and 0.467, respectively in the one-variable polynomial regression model. The coefficient of determination of LF and HF were 0.557 and 0.644, respectively in the multivariable regression model, based on Random Forest and time domain indices.

Ergonomic Workload Evaluation of Motor-Manual Tree Processing

“…At present, non-invasive measurement of heart activity using various wearable devices appears to be the most suitable for monitoring and evaluating physiological parameters during the performance of work. These devices are capable of sensing heart activity/pulse with relatively high accuracy and also eliminate a number of artifacts arising during the measurement itself [25,[27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

Analysis of the Heart Rate of Operators of Forwarding Machines during Timber Forwarding and the Dependence of Its Values on the Performed Work Activities

“…The most common type of device with a heart rate measurement function is the so-called smart watch, which is sold in large quantities today. Heart rate measurements with these devices are commonly used for the assessment of training intensity, sleep cycle monitoring, and in other health-related areas [43]. Furthermore, there are attempts to use this measurement to assess relaxation and stress [44], distinguish emotions [45] and distinguish between sleep and wakefulness [46].…”
