Key result
The dry electrode-based Health Patch demonstrated high agreement with reference devices for heart rate (Lin's CCC 0.98) and marginal agreement for respiratory rate (Lin's CCC 0.51) during a 30-minute exercise protocol.
Why the study?
Successful remote monitoring outside the hospital setting requires addressing needs for longer-term wear, skin comfort, and signal quality, motivating validation of a dry electrode-based Health Patch.
Does the dry electrode-based Health Patch accurately measure heart rate, heart rate variability, and respiration rate compared to reference devices in healthy adults?

Does the dry electrode-based Health Patch accurately measure heart rate, heart rate variability, and respiration rate compared to reference devices in healthy adults?
Effect estimate: Lin's CCC 0.98 (95% CI 0.98-0.98)
The dry electrode-based Health Patch provides accurate heart rate and heart rate variability measurements, though respiratory rate accuracy requires improvement, supporting its potential for short-to-medium term remote cardiorespiratory monitoring.
Wei et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Healthy volunteers (n=25). Health Patch vs. Shimmer3 ECG Unit and Cosmed K5 was evaluated on Heart rate measurement agreement (Lin's concordance correlation coefficient) (Lin's CCC 0.98, 95% CI 0.98-0.98). The dry electrode-based Health Patch demonstrated high agreement with reference devices for heart rate (Lin's CCC 0.98) and marginal agreement for respiratory rate (Lin's CCC 0.51) during a 30-minute exercise protocol.
