However, thorough validation of HR monitors in cardiac populations during daily life, compared to gold-standard Holter monitoring, remains limited. Photoplethysmography (PPG)-based HR data provides near-continuous data, spanning longer periods, but improved algorithms to filter unreliable data are needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This observational, prospective pilot study compared the accuracy of two wearables for HR monitoring (electrocardiogram [ECG]-based Polar H10 chest strap and PPG-based Fitbit Inspire 2 wrist tracker) against Holter monitoring in 15 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF) and coronary artery disease referred for cardiac rehabilitation (CR).

After implementing the ARP, PPG-based HR data improved to a correlation of 0.75, with MAE of 7.2 bpm and MAPE of 12.4%.
