Analysis of a Pulse Rate Variability Measurement Using a Smartphone Camera

Table 1

Comparison values when PRV and HRV indices are compared with each other. Here, PC stands for the Pearson correlation coefficient (with the values), m and b represent the coefficients for the linear regression on HRV (PRV) with the corresponding mean error (err), R² is the coefficient of determination, and bias, SD, and BAR values are the results of the Bland-Altman analysis. The definitions of the HRV indices were introduced earlier.
