Aishee Pal

Dear All,

The performance of a device can be checked by repeating tests conducted with both of them in healthy population, and seeing the reporoducibility and accuracy of the results in time domain and frequency domain. The reference time markers can be taken from European Task Force, 1996 paper. Also, in India, in Autonomic Function Lab, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, we have standardised the data for over 30 years. The cut offs, for the same can be used

Stephen David Edwards

Aishee has answered well. A basic design would be to compare various HRV devices against established data, using randomized control trials with large representative samples.
