The accuracy of heartbeat detection using photoplethysmography technology in cardiac patients

This validation study showed that the Corsano 287 CardioWatch/Bracelet with PPG-technology can determine HR and RR-intervals with high accuracy in a cardiovascular patient population, with high quality output in different subgroups, especially when combined with a signal quality indicator. Due to their non-intrusive and convenient nature, wearable devices like these have great potential for high volume accessible long-term monitoring at-risk cardiac patients.
