There are lots<ref>https://iotool.io/extensions/sensors/heart-rate-bluetooth-low-energy-4-0-sensors-1</ref> and lots<ref>https://forum.quantifiedself.com/t/reliable-wearable-ecg/2653</ref><ref>https://vandrico.com/wearables/device-categories/components/heart-rate-monitor.html</ref> of such devices and so not all have been evaluated. | |

− | + | Most smartwatches and fitness trackers that are worn as wrist-bands provide heart rate data in one form or another. Virtually all of them do so through Pulse Oximetry and try to avoid measurement artifacts through the use of accelerometer data. Widely used wearable devices that include heart rate data are: | |

− | + | == Few Lead ECG Patch == | |
+ | These devices make us of [[Electrocardiogram|electrocardiograms]] and are based on electrical pulses. For these to work they have to be temporarily glued on to a patch of skin, typically on the chest. As such they might be less appropriate for long-term data collection, similar to chest straps.
