MobileSOFT : U : A Deep Learning Framework to Monitor Heart Rate During Intensive Physical Exercise

Wearable biosensors have become increasingly popular in healthcare due to their capabilities for low cost and long term biosignal monitoring. However, current determination of heart rate through wearable devices and mobile applications suffers from high corruption of signals during intensive physical exercise. In this paper, we present a novel technique for accurately determining heart rate during intensive motion by classifying PPG signals obtained from smartphones or wearable devices combined with motion data obtained from accelerometer sensors. Our approach utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) cloud connectivity of smartphones for selection of PPG signals using deep learning classification models. The technique is validated using the TROIKA dataset and is accurately able to predict heart rate with a 10-fold cross validation error margin of 4.88%.
