Does a novel high dynamic range chest-based PPG system accurately measure HR and HRV compared to standard ECG and finger/wrist PPG devices in healthy adults?
10 healthy adult volunteers aged 25-43 participated in a 7-minute seated protocol to validate a novel chest-based PPG system against standard ECG and finger/wrist PPG.
Novel high dynamic range chest-based PPG measurement system (ASIC on a 20 cm2 PCB board)
Standard chest ECG patch, conventional PPG finger clip (TI AFE 4403), and PPG wristband (IMEC Chill+)

A novel high dynamic range chest-based PPG system can accurately extract heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration rate, and SpO2, performing comparably to standard ECG and finger/wrist PPG devices.
Effect estimate: 0.41 bpm average absolute deviation
Advancements in integrated circuit (IC) technology have accelerated the miniaturization of body-worn sensors and systems, enabling long-term health monitoring. Wearable electrocardiogram (ECG), finger photoplethysmogram (PPG), and wrist-worn PPG have shown great success and significantly improved life quality. Chest-based PPG has the potential to extract multiple vital signs but requires ultra-high dynamic range (DR) IC to read out the small PPG signal among large respiration and artifacts inherent in daily life. This paper presents a dedicated high DR system for wearable chest PPG applications with a small form factor. The whole measurement system is integrated on a 20 cm2 PCB board. We have formulated a comprehensive evaluation protocol to validate the system with on-body chest PPG measurement in the workspace environment. First, chest PPG data was obtained from 6 adults and compared to data from a standard ECG patch. This system showed an average absolute deviation (AD) of 0.41 beats per minute, achieving > 99.53% heart rate (HR) accuracy. Second, chest PPG was recorded and compared to conventional PPG finger clip and PPG wristband, also showing > 98.6% HR matching and an absolute deviation in the standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN) of < 12.8 ms for HRV monitoring within the protocol. Moreover, it successfully derives other vital parameters such as respiration rate and blood oxygen level (SpO2), showing the advancement among all these three reference modalities. This system can pave the way for new application areas, such as chest patches, to monitor chronic heart and respiratory diseases.

Lin et al. (Mon,) conducted a observational in Healthy volunteers (n=10). Chest-based PPG measurement system vs. Chest ECG, finger PPG, and wrist PPG was evaluated on Heart rate accuracy and absolute deviation compared to standard ECG (0.41 bpm average absolute deviation). The novel chest-based PPG measurement system achieved an average absolute deviation of 0.41 beats per minute compared to a standard ECG patch, resulting in >99.53% heart rate accuracy.
