Urges caution applying ICA to motion-contaminated wearable PPG; challenges independence assumption and leaves validation to future ambulatory studies.
Motion significantly affects arterial flow, violating the assumption of statistical independence required for ICA, which complicates its use for motion artifact separation in wearable pulse oximeters.
Yao et al. (2005) studied Motion artifacts in wearable pulse oximeter signals. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) was evaluated on Correlation coefficients between arterial volume variations and motion. Motion significantly affects arterial flow, violating the assumption of mutual independence and indicating that care must be taken when applying independent component analysis to wearable sensor data.
