Key result
The Equivital EQ02 Lifemonitor measured heart rate with a mean difference of -2.8 beats per minute compared to the Holter monitor, though its accuracy was highly dependent on artifact content.

Does the Equivital EQ02 Lifemonitor accurately measure ECG, HR, and HRV compared to a Holter monitor in healthy participants?
Mean Difference: -2.8 (95% CI -29.8–24.3)
The Equivital EQ02 Lifemonitor can accurately measure ECG and HRV, but its high dependence on artefact content limits its clinical utility for individual patients.
Akintola et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=18). Equivital EQ02 Lifemonitor vs. Holter ambulatory ECG monitor was evaluated on Mean difference in heart rate over 24 hours (all data) (MD -2.8 bpm, 95% CI -29.8 to 24.3). The Equivital EQ02 Lifemonitor measured heart rate with a mean difference of -2.8 beats per minute compared to the Holter monitor, though its accuracy was highly dependent on artifact content.
