Abstract
Optical heart rate monitoring (oHRM) has become a staple in today's wearables. Measuring heart rate in daily life is challenging: algorithms must track pulses at rest, during rhythmic activities (e.g., walking, running, biking), and non-rhythmic activities (e.g., typing, cooking). Accurately measuring heart rate requires a robust algorithm that can handle these different use cases in real-time. At CSEM, the development of oHRM algorithms has undergone continuous improvement and development for the past 2 decades, keeping up with and anticipating user needs in the realm of physiological tracking. In this report, we describe our continuous improvement strategies and the most up-to-date results of our oHRM library.
