Remote Photoplethysmography Is an Accurate Method to Remotely Measure Respiratory Rate: A Hospital-Based Trial.

ABSTRACT: Remote photoplethysmography imaging (rPPG) is a new solution proposed to measure vital signs, such as respiratory rate (RR) in teleconsultation, by using a webcam. The results, presented here, aim at evaluating the accuracy of such remote measurement methods, compared with existing measurement methods, in a real-life clinical setting. For each patient, measurement of RR, using the standard system (control), has been carried out concomitantly with the experimental system. A 60-s time frame was used for the measurements made by our rPPG system. Age, gender, BMI, and skin phototype were collected. We performed the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman plot to analyze the accuracy and precision of the rPPG algorithm readings. Measurements of RR, using the two methods, have been r
