The performance of a ratiometric artefact reduction technique is tested with both simulated multiplicative noise sources, as well as real motion artefacts to best determine where the limitations of the system lie.
Abstract
This paper investigates the feasibility of a ratio metric approach to compensating for ambient light and motion artefacts in a reflective photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor suitable for wearable applications. A low-power, discrete-time pulse-oximeter development platform is used to capture both infra-red (IR) and red photoplethysmograms, as well as the ambient light level, such that the data used for analysis has noise levels representative of what a true body sensor network (BSN) device would experience. The performance of a ratiometric artefact reduction technique is tested with both simulated multiplicative noise sources, as well as real motion artefacts to best determine where the limitations of the system lie.

Fall detectors for people with dementia

Jason Leake
TL;DR: It is argued that wearable fall detectors should utilise physiological data to complement kinematic data, and it is concluded that the pulse provides a source of data and it would be possible to build the conceptual fall detector utilising this technique.

A photoplethysmography system optimised for pervasive cardiac monitoring

TL;DR: This thesis presents a photoplethysmography based sensor system that has been developed specifically for the requirements of a pervasive healthcare monitoring system and is implemented on a single PCB using only commercial-off-the-shelf components and consumes less than 7mW of power.

Método alternativo de control de intensidad lumínica para pulsioximetría en tiempo real

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative method of pulse width modulation was proposed for controlling the mean light intensity level, whose principle is a pulse width nodulation of the current applied to the LEDs in the emitting stage.

Photoplethysmography and its application in clinical physiological measurement.

TL;DR: Photoplethysmography is a simple and low-cost optical technique that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue and is often used non-invasively to make measurements at the skin surface.

Motion artifact reduction in photoplethysmography using independent component analysis

TL;DR: The motion artifacts were reduced by exploiting the quasi-periodicity of the PPG signal and the independence between the P PG and the motion artifact signals by the combination of independent component analysis and block interleaving with low-pass filtering.

Artifact-resistant power-efficient design of finger-ring plethysmographic sensors

TL;DR: benchmarking tests with FDA-approved PPG and electrocardiogram reveal that the ring sensor is comparable to those devices in detecting beat-to-beat pulsation despite disturbances, and designed and built based on the power budget analysis and the artifact-resistive attachment method.
