N2 - In this paper, we propose a method for estimating heart rate from pulse wave measured through conductive fibers mounted on forearms. In recent years, heart rate is an effective index for describing mental and physical condition. Accordingly, many types of wearable heart rate measuring devices have been developed. However, there are problems such as uncertainty in the measured waveform caused by contact failure and large burdens on subjects brought by wearing oppression. Hence, it is necessary to have a device that brings less burdens and can measure stably. In this research, we propose a forearm-mounted pulse wave measuring device made of stretchable conductive fibers that can be comfortably worn and can reduce contact failure. In addition, we propose a method for estimating heart rate from pulse wave measured by proposed device. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we show the accuracy of measuring heart rate and the sample entropy of the heart rate variability waveform. As a result, it was confirmed that pulse wave can be measured stably irrespective of both rest and moving state.
