Abstract(in English) Electrocardiogram (ECG) captured by wearable ECG devices easily contains artifact because of the measurement faults. Since frequency characteristics of artifact are quite similar to the ones of R waves, it may cause R-R Interval (RRI) miscalculation. To enable accurate Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis in daily life, this paper proposes reliability evaluation method of RRI measurement status which uses the electric potential characteristics of QRS complex. The proposed method consists of two steps; discrimination of R wave measurement status, and reliability evaluation of RRI measurement status based on the combination of those results of two consecutive R waves. The results of the initial evaluation show that the proposed method has the potential to distinguish miscalculated RRIs. Moreover, time domain measures of HRV derived from the proposed RRI outlier exclusion method are more accurate than those derived from the conventional one. As a pilot test of the visualization, this paper reports the colored Lorenz plot which reflects RRI measurement status reliability.
