Accuracy of heart rate, pulse oxygen saturation, and blood pressure using a non-contact photoplethysmography-based mobile application: A potential tool for wellness monitoring.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an effective non-contact technique for measuring vital signs. This report aims to evaluate whether a non-contact PPG-based mobile application supports an appropriate level of accuracy in monitoring SpO Methods: Adult volunteers (≥18 years, both male and female) were consecutively enrolled from September to November 2024. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) for data collection involves recording subjects' faces using the front camera of mobile devices for ∼1.5 minutes. Simultaneously, vital signs will be continuously collected for about 1.5 minutes using the reference devices alongside data collected via the comestai application. Results: A total of 562 participants (279 F/283 M) were enrolled. The app demonstrated excellent accuracy for HR (MAE 2.96, MAPE 4.14, and accuracy 99.1%) and SpO Conclusions: The non-contact PPG-based mobile app holds promise as an accessible, user-friendly tool for wellness monitoring. Solutions like comestai.app present both new opportunities and challenges in the wellness sector, emphasizing the need for continued research in this field.
