PPG-Based Heart Rate Variability Measurement vs. ECG-Based HRV Measurement: Which is Right for Your Research? _ Next-Gen Research Techniques

🔹 Is PPG or ECG the best method for tracking heart rate variability (HRV) in your research? 🔹
🔹 Learn how these two technologies compare in accuracy, practicality, and long-term usability for HRV measurement! 🔹

In this episode, we dive into the comparison between PPG-based and ECG-based HRV measurement, two leading methods for tracking heart rate variability. While ECG remains the gold standard for precision, PPG offers a more accessible, continuous option for wellness tracking. If you're looking to measure HRV for fitness recovery or stress management, PPG devices are a convenient, affordable choice. On the other hand, ECG excels in clinical and research settings, offering high accuracy and reliability, especially when subtle HRV changes are critical.
