Comparison of Lab based Device and Cuff-less based Device for Efficient Heart Rate Monitoring in Normal Individuals and Heart Diseased Individuals for Extended Duration

Aim: This study was performed to validate and compare our designed cuff less device with standard heart rate monitors used in Hospitals. Materials and Methods: The Heart patient data were collected in Government PHC (Primary Healthcare Center), Navalpakkam hospital and the normal individual data were collected in Saveetha School of Engineering (SSE), Saveetha University (CLAB 404/425). Results: The means of the BPM also was found to be very similar with a minor deviation in heart rate of heart patients monitored by our cuff less device. The high insignificance assures that our device has given reading at par with commercial monitors used in the market Conclusion: Within the limits of our study our cuff-less device is as efficient as a vital sign monitor (lab based device) used in hospitals or Laboratories (one way ANOVA, P >0.05, insignificant).
