Objective.
Current generation smartphones' video camera technologies enable photoplethysmographic (PPG) acquisition and heart rate (HR) measurement.
The study objective was to develop an Android application and compare HRs derived from a Motorola Droid to electrocardiograph (ECG) and Nonin 9560BT pulse oximeter readings during various movement-free tasks.
Materials and Methods.
HRs were collected simultaneously from 14 subjects, ages 20 to 58, healthy or with clinical conditions, using the 3 devices during 5-minute periods while at rest, reading aloud under observation, and playing a video game.
Correlation between the 3 devices was determined, and Bland-Altman plots for all possible pairs of devices across all conditions assessed agreement.
Results.
Across conditions, all device pairs showed high correlations.
Bland-Altman plots further revealed the Droid as a valid measure for HR acquisition.
Across all conditions, the Droid compared to ECG, 95% of the data points (differences between devices) fell within the limits of agreement.
Conclusion.
The Android application provides valid HRs at varying levels of movement free mental/perceptual motor exertion.
Lack of electrode patches or wireless sensor telemetric straps make it advantageous for use in mobile-cell-phone-delivered health promotion and wellness programs.
Further validation is needed to determine its applicability while engaging in physical movement-related activities.
