Embodiment Construction

[0042] Recently, significant improvements in the motion robustness of long-range PPG monitoring techniques have been achieved. The fundamental insight to be able to separate motion-induced signal changes from actual PPG changes is that motion affects all wavelength channels equally (a typical PPG surveillance system uses at least two wavelength channels), i.e., the relative signal strength of motion-induced changes in all channels The same, whereas the PPG-based changes are clearly wavelength-dependent. The wavelength dependence of the PPG signal is mainly due to the wavelength-dependent variation of the absorption contrast between blood and skin. Also, to a lesser extent, it depends on the depth of penetration of light as a function of wavelength and the scattering properties of light in human skin.

[0043] The characteristic wavelength dependence of the PPG signal can be used as a signature, enabling robust PPG measurements. The number of independent distortions that can ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device, system and method for determining at least one vital sign of a subject. The device (130) comprises an input interface (131) configured to obtain at least three detection signals (210) derived from detected electromagnetic radiation transmitted through or reflected from a skin region of a subject, wherein each detection signal comprises wavelength-dependent reflection or transmission information in a different wavelength channel, a vital sign extraction unit (132) configured to extract multiple candidate vital signs (232) of the same type of vital signfrom said at least three detection signals, wherein each candidate vital sign is extracted from a different detection signal or a different combination of at least two detection signals, a vital signdetermination unit (133) configured to determine a final vital sign (233) from said multiple candidate vital signs, and a reliability information unit (134) configured to provide reliability information (234a) indicating the reliability of said final vital sign and / or one or more of said candidate vital signs and to provide unreliability source information (234b) indicating the source of unreliability of said final vital sign and / or one or more of said candidate vital signs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device, system and method for determining at least one vital sign of a subject. Background technique [0002] A person's vital signs, such as heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR) or arterial oxygen saturation (Sp02), are used as indicators of the person's current state and as favorable predictors of serious medical events. For this reason, vital signs are widely monitored in inpatient and outpatient care settings, at home or further in health, leisure and fitness settings. [0003] One way of measuring vital signs is plethysmography. Plethysmography generally involves the measurement of volume changes of an organ or body part, and in particular the detection of volume changes due to cardiovascular pulse waves passing through a subject's body with each heartbeat. [0004] Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an optical measurement technique that evaluates time-varying changes in light reflectance or transmission of a regi...
