In the present study we focused on heart rate sensors and compared the acceptability and usability of the various devices candidates to feed the PRECIOUS (PREventive Care Infrastructure based On Ubiquitous Sensing) system. More precisely, smart-watch, chest-belt and 2-points-electrodes have been tested by users during 24 hours. Each device test lead to consult lifestyle reports about stress, sleep and physical activity. During this experimentation 11 participants completed different acceptability questionnaires. The first results interpretation revealed which sensor is the most acceptable and gave insight into how data reliability of the different devices influenced their respective acceptability in the daily life.
