Key result
A wearable sensor prototype demonstrated excellent agreement with a reference chest strap for resting heart rate (ICC 0.96) and mean test heart rate (ICC 0.92) during a functional test.
Why the study?
Wearable sensors are rapidly evolving for physiological monitoring, but wearable sensor prototypes incorporating photoplethysmography and long-range wide area network technology require validation for heart rate measurement during functional tests.
Does a wearable sensor prototype accurately measure heart rate compared to a reference chest strap in healthy young adults during a functional test?
Population
20 healthy participants aged between 20 and 30 years without contraindications for physical exercise
Comparison
Wearable sensor prototype vs Polar H10 HR chest strap sensor

May support remote HR monitoring prototypes; leaves open clinical validation in patients or during functional tests.
Cross-Sectional (n=20)
Does a wearable sensor prototype accurately measure heart rate compared to a reference chest strap in healthy young adults during a functional test?
Mean Difference: -2.6 (95% CI -3.5–-1.8)
A novel wearable sensor prototype demonstrated excellent agreement with a reference chest strap for monitoring heart rate at rest, during exercise, and recovery in healthy young adults.
Loro et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=20). Wearable sensor prototype vs. Polar H10 HR chest strap sensor was evaluated on Rest heart rate (MD -2.6, 95% CI -3.5 to -1.8). A wearable sensor prototype demonstrated excellent agreement with a reference chest strap for resting heart rate (ICC 0.96) and mean test heart rate (ICC 0.92) during a functional test.
