Heart Rate Prediction Model based on Physical Activities using Evolutionary Neural Network

Abstract

Physical activity (PA) can influence heart rate(HR). But the relationship between HR and PA is hard to describe. In our previous works, HR prediction models based on PA were designed. However, the prediction time length and accuracy are usually hard to compromise. In this study, a new HR prediction method is proposed. The predicted HR is used as the input in the next prediction step. Only HR at the initial time step and PA signals are needed in a long prediction time length. Evolutionary neural network is used as the mathematic basic of the predictor to ensure the prediction accuracy. The results show the predicted HR can trace the actual HR well.
