Abstract

Objective: To compare the Polar H10 and Bittium Faros™ HRV monitors for use in occupational and environmental health research, considering data collection, storage, transfer, resource needs, and limitations.

Methods: A literature review, device testing, and expert interviews were conducted to assess device performance and usability.

Results: Polar H10 is affordable, records RR intervals for up to 20 hours offline, and requires a smartwatch and app for extended storage. Bittium Faros™ is a certified ECG monitor that records full waveforms, supports long measurements, and enables automatic data transfer. Both devices can be worn with a chest strap, but placement issues may affect data quality. Patch electrodes improve stability but may cause skin irritation.

Conclusions: This assessment highlights key device differences to guide HRV monitor selection for occupational and environmental epidemiological studies.

哪种设备最适合现场测量心率变异性？两种主要选择的比较评价。

目的：比较Polar H10和Bittium Faros™HRV监测仪在职业和环境健康研究中的应用，考虑数据收集、存储、传输、资源需求和局限性。方法：通过文献综述、设备测试和专家访谈来评估设备的性能和可用性。结果：Polar H10价格实惠，可在离线状态下记录长达20小时的RR间隔，需要智能手表和应用程序来扩展存储空间。Bittium Faros™是一款经过认证的心电监护仪，可记录完整波形，支持长时间测量，并实现自动数据传输。这两款设备都可以通过胸带佩戴，但放置的问题可能会影响数据质量。贴片电极提高稳定性，但可能引起皮肤刺激。结论：该评估强调了指导职业和环境流行病学研究中HRV监测仪选择的关键设备差异。
