Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a PPG monitoring system for removing motion artifacts based on a multi-layer time-delay neural network. Background technique [0002] In recent years, transmissive and reflective pulse oximetry devices based on photoplethysmography (PPG) have been greatly promoted and developed in the health and medical industries because of their portability, cheapness and accuracy, and are widely used in Vital signs monitoring, wearable devices and other fields. [0003] The detection of PPG signal is usually achieved by injecting light of one or more different wavelengths from the body surface into the subcutaneous vascular network, and recording the intensity of transmitted or reflected light. Oxygenated hemoglobin and unoxygenated hemoglobin in blood have differences in light absorption of different wavelengths, the steady-state and fluctuating parts of the PPG signal ...

Problems solved by technology

However, no matter which method is used, it faces problems and challenges such as the strength of the reference signal correlation, the time delay between the reference signal and the noisy PPG signal, the trade-off between the number of filter taps and the sampling rate, etc., and the effect is limited in practical applications.

[0007] In addition, methods based on classical wavelet transform [12,13] and dual-tree complex wavelet transform [14,15] have also been proposed and proved to be suitable for certain motion situations, but the methods based on this are different for different Devices and various PPG waveforms collected for different experimental objects may need to change different threshold selection strategies, which is not conducive to the promotion among smart devices

[0008] In recent years, some researchers have also proposed based on time domain or frequency domain ICA [10,16-18], SSA [19,20], cycle-by-cycle Fourier series [21], empirical mode decomposition [22], Kalman filter [23], Wigner-Ville distribution [24] and other methods to remove artifacts, but these methods are either difficult to apply in practice [21], or are only proven to be effective under specific experimental conditions

In fact, there is still no universal and robust solution to this problem
