Evaluation of Oxa's R-Peak Detection Algorithm
This paper evaluates the performance of Oxa's R-peak detection algorithm and demonstrates that it outperforms traditional methods.
- In this feasibility study Nanoleq's R-peak algorithm outperformed highly cited standard methods and also tests with a widely used heart rate belt. It showed better true positive and false negative scores at rest, walking and during different activites. The belt struggled especially under very dry skin conditions.
