Heart rate variability (HRV) measures the regularity between consecutive heartbeats driven by the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomous nervous system. Wearable devices embedding photoplethysmogram (PPG) technology can be used to derive HRV, creating many opportunities for remote monitoring of this physiological parameter. However, uncontrolled conditions met in daily life pose several challenges related to disturbances that can deteriorate the PPG signal, making the calculation of HRV metrics untrustworthy and not reliable. In this work, we propose a HRV quality metric that is directly related to the HRV accuracy and can be used to distinguish between accurate and inaccurate HRV values. A parametric supervised approach estimates HRV accuracy using a model whose inputs are features extracted from the PPG signal and the output is the HRV error between HRV metrics obtained from the PPG and the ECG collected during an experimental protocol involving several activities. The estimated HRV accuracy of the model is used as an indication of the HRV quality.
