Overview

The purpose of this study it to evaluate the accuracy of heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate and blood pressure measurement with the use of Shen.AI software.

The primary objective of this clinical study is to assess the accuracy of heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), breathing rate (BR), and blood pressure (BP) measurements obtained using Shen.AI software as the investigational device under its intended conditions of use, enabling users to obtain reliable information about their physiological state. These conditions include measurements taken at rest, in a home-like environment, with participants independently operating a mobile device or laptop equipped with a camera. Physiological parameters, including HR, HRV, BR, and BP, will be measured and estimated using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) based on a 1-minute facial video analysis processed by Shen.AI software. Throughout all measurements, participants will be connected to a reference device that records ECG while simultaneously measuring chest impedance (impedance pneumography). Additionally, each participant will wear a respiratory belt transducer. Depending on the measurement type, the participant's blood pressure will be assessed using either an auscultatory or an automatic blood pressure monitor. The study will be conducted on a diverse group of participants, varying in blood pressure, gender, age, skin phototype, and BMI. For each measured parameter, results obtained from both methods will be compared using Bland-Altman analysis or non-parametric limits of agreement.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Accuracy of the average heart rate (HR) measurement using the device under test compared to the reference measurement.

Average HR will be estimated using Shen.AI software and compared with simultaneously recorded ECG .

Time frame: One appointment (day 1)

Accuracy of the measurement of the heart rate variability index - Standard Deviation of Normal-to-Normal intervals (SDNN) using the device under test compared to the reference measurement.

The heart rate variability index (SDNN) will be measured using Shen.AI software and compared with the simultaneously recorded ECG.

Time frame: One appointment (day 1)

Accuracy of the breathing rate (BR) measurement using the device under test compared to the reference measurement.

Average BR will be estimated using Shen.AI software and compared with the recorded impedance pneumography signal in the absence of read-out capability supported by the respiratory belt transducer.

Time frame: One appointment (day 1)

Accuracy of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) measurements using the device under test in relation to the reference measurement.

Average BP will be estimated using Shen.AI software and compared with auscultatory blood pressure measurements.

Time frame: One appointment (day 1)

Accuracy of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) measurement using the device under test, taking into account the calibration of the BP measurement function, in relation to the reference measurement.

Average BP will be estimated using Shen.AI software and compared with auscultatory blood pressure measurements. Measurements will be performed during two visits, with the second visit occurring 14 ± 3 days apart.

Time frame: Two appointments (14 ± 3 days apart)
