Noninvasive measurement of blood pressure by optical methods receives considerable interest, but the complexity of the measurement and the difficulty of adjusting parameters restrict applications. We develop a method for estimating the systolic and diastolic blood pressure using a single-point optical recording of a photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal. The estimation is data-driven, we use automated...
Photoplethysmography (PPG) can be carried out through facial video recording by a smart phone camera in ambient light. The main challenge is to eliminate motion artifacts and ambient noise. We describe a real-time algorithm to quantify the heart beat rate from facial video recording captured by the camera of a smart phone. We extract the green channel from the video. Then we normalize it and use a...
Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals acquired by smartphone cameras are weaker than those acquired by dedicated pulse oximeters. Furthermore, the signals have lower sampling rates, have notches in the waveform and are more severely affected by baseline drift, leading to specific morphological characteristics. This paper introduces a new feature, the inverted triangular area, to address these specific...
