This study explores HRV for the detection of psychotic disorders by integrating multidomain HRV analysis with a hybrid deep learning technique. Polar H10 electrocardiogram device was employed to collect RR interval data from 30 patients diagnosed with either schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and 30 similar age healthy controls, with a duration of approximately 1.5\u20132 h. HRV features, including time-domain, spectral, and nonlinear features such as the Poincar\u00e9 plot and recurrence quantification analysis, were extracted from this publicly available dataset. Group-wise statistical comparisons between the healthy and the psychotic disorders were performed using the Mann\u2013Whitney\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n U<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n test with a significance level of\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n p<\/mml:mi>\n <<\/mml:mo>\n 0.01<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n .
