126 results about "Photoplethysmogram" patented technology

A photoplethysmogram (PPG) is an optically obtained plethysmogram that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. A PPG is often obtained by using a pulse oximeter which illuminates the skin and measures changes in light absorption. A conventional pulse oximeter monitors the perfusion of blood to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of the skin.

Motion artifact cancelation

A photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal may be obtained from a pulse oximeter, which employs a light emitter and a light sensor to measure the perfusion of blood to the skin of a user. However, the signal may be compromised by noise due to motion artifacts. That is, movement of the body of a user may cause the skin and vasculature to expand and contract, introducing noise to the signal. To address the presence of motion artifacts, examples of the present disclosure can receive light information from two light sensors situated in a line parallel to the direction of the blood pulse wave. The light information from each sensor may include the same noise signal, and thus subtracting one from the other can result in a heart rate signal where the noise has been canceled out. In some examples, a signal from one of the light sensors may be multiplied by a scaling factor before cancellation to account for response differences in each light sensor.

Measuring respiration rate with multi-band plethysmography

A photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal may be obtained from a pulse oximeter, which employs a light emitter and a light sensor to measure the perfusion of blood to the skin of a user, and multiple wavelengths of light may be employed. For various wavelengths, relatively long wavelengths may interrogate relatively deep blood vessels in comparison to relatively short wavelengths, which may interrogate relatively shallow blood vessels. Accordingly, for co-located emitters of different wavelengths, there may be a time delay in the pulse signal measured by each wavelength. The time delay as a function of time may vary according to the constriction and dilation of the blood vessels, which itself may vary according to the respiratory rate of a user.

Method to quantify photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal quality

When evaluating the quality of photoplethysmography (PPG) signal (52) measured from a patient monitor (e.g., a finger sensor or the like), multiple features of the PPG signal are extracted and analyzed to facilitate assigning a score to the PPG signal or portions (e.g., heartbeats) thereof. Heartbeats in the PPG signal are segmented out using concurrently captured electrocardiograph (ECG) signal (50), and for each heartbeat, a plurality of extracted features are analyzed. If all extracted features satisfy one or more predetermined criteria for each feature, then the heartbeat waveform is compared to a predefined heartbeat template. If the waveform matches the template (e.g., within a predetermined match percentage or the like), then the heartbeat is classified as 'clean'. If the heartbeatdoes not patch the template, or if one or more of the extracted features fails to satisfy its one or more predetermined criteria, the heartbeat is classified as 'noisy'.
