Therefore, the Japanese government is promoting digital transformation and the use of nursing care equipment, including nonwearable devices that monitor heart and respiratory rates. However, the feasibility of monitoring heart and respiratory rates with nonwearable devices and the consistency of the rates measured have not been reported.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n In this study, we focused on a sheet-type nonwearable device (Safety Sheep Sensor) introduced in many nursing homes. We evaluated the feasibility of monitoring heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) continuously using nonwearable devices and the consistency of the HR and RR measured.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A sheet-type nonwearable device that measured HR and RR every minute through body vibrations was placed under the mattress of each participant. The participants in study 1 were healthy individuals aged 20\u201060 years (n=21), while those in study 2 were older adults living in multidwelling houses and required nursing care (n=20). The HR was measured using standard methods by the nurse and using the wearable device (Silmee Bar-type Lite sensor), and RR was measured by the nurse. The primary outcome was the mean difference in HR and RR between nonwearable devices and standard methods.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The mean difference in HR was \u22120.32 (SD 3.12) in study 1 and 0.04 (SD: 3.98) in study 2; both the differences were within the predefined accepted discrepancies (<5 beats\/min). The mean difference in RR was \u22120.98 (SD 3.01) in study 1 and \u22120.49 (SD 2.40) in study 2; both the differences were within the predefined accepted discrepancies (3 breaths\/min).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n HR and RR measurements obtained using the nonwearable devices and the standard method were similar. Continuous monitoring of vital signs using nonwearable devices can aid in the early detection of abnormal conditions in older people.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/56547","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,2]],"date-time":"2024-07-02T12:26:52Z","timestamp":1719923212000},"page":"e56547-e56547","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Feasibility of Monitoring Heart and Respiratory Rates Using Nonwearable Devices and Consistency of the Measured Parameters: Pilot Feasibility Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4534-1357","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kasumi","family":"Ikuta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5584-8541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miya","family":"Aishima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6915-927X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maiko","family":"Noguchi-Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5424-3521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sakiko","family":"Fukui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"R1","first-page":"11","volume":"161","author":"Borsk\u00fd","journal-title":"Cas Lek Cesk"},{"key":"R2","unstructured":"Flint B Tadi P .
