Key result
Reflective PPG linear regression linked to ~25% lower RMSE for SpO2 prediction.
Why the study?
Reflective PPG sensors exhibit patient-dependent variations in the Ratio of Modulation, causing conventional SpO2 calibration curves to report inaccurate values.
Do Machine Learning algorithms improve the accuracy of SpO2 determination using reflective PPG compared to Blood Gas Analysis in healthy subjects?
Population
Ten healthy subjects undergoing controlled hypoxia
Comparison
Machine learning algorithms and feature combinations vs arterial blood gas analysis
Design
Experimental human hypoxia study

Do Machine Learning algorithms improve the accuracy of SpO2 determination using reflective PPG compared to Blood Gas Analysis in healthy subjects?
Effect estimate: 25% reduction in RMSE
Machine learning, specifically linear regression using combined features, can accurately determine SpO2 from reflective PPG sensors independently of the subject.
Badiola et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Hypoxia (n=10). Machine Learning algorithms on reflective PPG vs. Blood Gas Analysis (BGA) was evaluated on Agreement of SpO2 predictions with Blood Gas Analysis (RMSE) (25% reduction in RMSE). Linear Regression using reflective PPG and the ratio ACRMS.red/ACRMS.ir alongside the Ratio of Modulation determined SpO2 with an average RMSE of ~3%, reducing the RMSE by 25%.
