Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to assessing the tension of human body, in particular, to a method and device for assessing the tension of human body by using photoplethysmography (PPG). Background technique
[0002] In the field of medical diagnosis, various methods have been tried using PPG to diagnose cardiovascular diseases or to detect the degree of progression of diseases or hardening of blood vessels. The PPG refers to a signal corresponding to the amount of light reflected by a selected part of the human body after being irradiated with light, and the irradiated light emitted from the light source of the light emitting device has a specific wavelength. Techniques using PPG have been primarily developed for the purpose of determining the physiological state of a patient in relation to the arterial system, but are often used as an aid in the diagnosis of specific diseases.
[0003] For example, US Publication No. US5830131 discloses a monitor for ...
