HRV-Based Respiratory-Rate Estimation in Older Adults: Error Modeling and Pilot Validation for Wearable Sleep Monitoring
Respiratory frequency is a critical biomarker in sleep medicine and circadian biology. We investigated whether the high-frequency (HF) component of heart-rate variability (HRV)—which reflects respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA)—can serve as a non-invasive proxy for breathing rate estimation from ECG or PPG. We employed...
