Background: Awareness about health has become a big part of today's society. The healthcare sector is continuously expanding and evolving with different techniques and methods for measuring vital parameters from home. One of the most frequently measured parameters from home is heart rate variability. Heart rate variability has become a relevant parameter to determine a person's psychological and physical health. Measurements of heart rate variability can be done in many ways. The most accurate way is with a stationary electrocardiogram, this method is very timeconsuming and expensive. There are other measurement methods that are non-stationary, using either photoplethysmography or the principals of an electrocardiogram. The problem is if the techniques does not measure as accurately as a stationary electrocardiogram. Aim: This project aims to investigate how a Polar H10, Biotekna finger sensor and an Innerbalance earlobe sensor differ when measuring heart rate variability simultaneously. It also aims to investigate if the differences are correlated to gender or body mass index. Method: This project is based on a literature study and an empirical study. The literature study was designed to find reliable information about the topic. The empirical study was designed to find differences in the three techniques by simultaneously measuring heart rate variability on 18volunteers. Results: It was found that there is not too big of a difference between either of the techniques. There are tendencies that the techniques based on photoplethysmography assume higher values than PolarH10. There are some deviating values that might have affected the results, however significant differences between the techniques could be determined.ConclusionThe empirical study showed that there is just a few heart rate variability parameters that show as significant difference between the three techniques. It also shows that there is almost no correlation between the differences and neither BMI nor gender. |
