Machine Learning Enabled Time Series Analysis in Medicine (ME-TIME)

April 6, 2023 updated by: Ivo van der Bilt, HagaZiekenhuis

Pattern Recognition in Heart Rate Variability Using Fitness Trackers in Cardiovascular Disease

The goal of this observational cohort study is to investigate the potential of fitness trackers in combination with machine learning algorithms to identify cardiovascular disease specific patterns.

Two hundred participants will be enrolled:

  1. 50 with heart failure
  2. 50 with atrial fibrillation
  3. 100 (healthy) individuals without the former two conditions

All participants are given a Fitbit device and monitored for three months. Researchers will compare differences in heart rate variability patterns between the groups and devise a machine learning algorithm to detect these patterns automatically.
