Reliability and Accuracy of the Fitbit Charge 4 Photoplethysmography Heart Rate Sensor in Ecological Conditions: Validation Study.

JMIR Mhealth Uhealth

January 2025

ULR 7369 - URePSSS - Unité de Recherche Pluridisciplinaire Sport Santé Société, Univ. Littoral Côte d'Opale, Univ. Lille, Univ. Artois, 189b, Avenue Maurice Schumann, Centre Universitaire des Darses, Dunkerque, 59375, France, 33 328237357.

Background: Wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors allow for continuous heart rate (HR) measurement without the inconveniences of wearing a chest belt. Although green light PPG technology reduces HR measurement motion artifacts, only a limited number of studies have investigated the reliability and accuracy of wearables in non-laboratory-controlled conditions with actual specific and various physical activity movements.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to (1) assess the reliability and accuracy of the PPG-based HR sensor of the Fitbit Charge 4 (FC4) in ecological conditions and (2) quantify the potential variability caused by the nature of activities.
