“…The 5-min averaged data was in the clinically acceptable regions for at least 99% of both HR and RR measurements, therefore we conclude that the clinical performance of the Healthdot in the current cohort is good. The accuracy of the Healthdot for 5-min averaged data was previously studied in bariatric patients where 90.5% of the HR measurements were within the 5 bpm and 88.5% of the RR measurements were within the 3 rpm threshold [13]. The higher percentages found in the present study could be explained by the higher BMI in the bariatric study population as the presence of subcutaneous fat around the chest might impair accelerometer measurements.…”
