Smartwatches and wristbands enable HR monitoring for consumers at massive scale. Unfortunately, once consumers become patients, physicians are limited by insufficient evidence to support the clinical use of PPG based wearables. Accurate identification of heartbeats is the first step in the interpretation of PPG traces and should be validated. Purpose: To assess the agreement between continuous PPG monitoring using a smartwatch and continuous ECG Holter monitoring in the identification of heartbeats and calculation of the HR. Methods: One hundred patients (≥18 years) without a pacemaker-dependent heart rhythm who were referred to a university hospital and a large tertiary hospital for elective 24-hour ECG Holter monitoring were asked to wear a continuous PPG monitoring smartwatch (i.e. Samsung GWA2 or Empatica E4) simultaneously with the 24-hour Holter monitor. All activities of daily life were allowed. The ECG trace and PPG waveform were synchronised and fragmented in one-minute fragments. The one-minute ECG fragments were labelled as AF, non-AF, or insufficient quality based on the routine clinical interpretation (i.e. software + physician overread-ing), and the average HR during each fragment was calculated by Holter algorithm. The PPG fragments were analysed by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm (i.e. FibriCheck) that labelled fragments as sufficient or in | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/36259 | ISSN: | 0195-668X | e-ISSN: | 1522-9645 | ISI #: | WOS:000720456900274 | Category: | M | Type: | Journal Contribution |
