Traditional methods of heart rate monitoring are often invasive, while recent advancements in Active Assisted Living provide non-invasive alternatives. This study aims to evaluate a novel heart rate prediction method that utilizes contactless smart home technology coupled with machine learning techniques for older adults.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was conducted in a residential environment equipped with various contactless smart home sensors. We recruited 40 participants, each of whom was instructed to perform 23 types of predefined daily living activities across five phases. Concurrently, heart rate data were collected through Empatica E4 wristband as the benchmark. Analysis of data involved five prominent machine learning models: Support Vector Regression, K-nearest neighbor, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Multilayer Perceptron.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All machine learning models achieved commendable prediction performance, with an average Mean Absolute Error of 7.329. Particularly, Random Forest model outperformed the other models, achieving a Mean Absolute Error of 6.023 and a Scatter Index value of 9.72%. The Random Forest model also showed robust capabilities in capturing the relationship between individuals' daily living activities and their corresponding heart rate responses, with the highest <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> value of 0.782 observed during morning exercise activities. Environmental factors contribute the most to model prediction performance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The utilization of the proposed non-intrusive approach enabled an innovative method to observe heart rate fluctuations during different activities. The findings of this research have significant implications for public health. By predicting heart rate based on contactless smart home technologies for individuals' daily living activities, healthcare providers and public health agencies can gain a comprehensive understanding of an individual's cardiovascular health profile. This valuable information can inform the implementation of personalized interventions, preventive measures, and lifestyle modifications to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improve overall health outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/frai.2023.1342427","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,12]],"date-time":"2024-01-12T04:20:12Z","timestamp":1705033212000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Heart rate prediction with contactless active assisted living technology: a smart home approach for older adults"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Kang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shi","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jasleen","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moojan","family":"Ghafurian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zahid Ahmad","family":"Butt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Plinio","family":"Morita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1145\/2702123.2702200","article-title":"\u201cSmart homes that monitor breathing and heart rate,\u201d","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - CHI '15","author":"Adib","year":"2015"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2022.3165792","article-title":"Efficient Medical diagnosis of human heart diseases using machine learning techniques with and without GridSearchCV","volume":"10","author":"Ahmad","year":"2022","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1109\/ISITIA.2015.7219960","article-title":"\u201cWireless body area network for monitoring body temperature, heart beat and oxygen in blood,\u201d","volume-title":"2015 International Seminar on Intelligent Technology and Its Applications (ISITIA)","author":"Al Rasyid","year":"2015"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2449","DOI":"10.1007\/s11277-019-06995-7","article-title":"Design of internet of things (IoT) and android based low cost health monitoring embedded system wearable sensor for measuring SpO2, heart rate and body temperature simultaneously","volume":"111","author":"Ali","year":"2019","journal-title":"Wirel.
