Low-power miniature PPG wrist devices may enable accessible PRV and SpO2 monitoring; leaves open prospective clinical validation.
This paper presents the work related to the identification of PRV (pulse rate variability) and SpO2 (blood oxidation content) using miniature wearable wrist device. The extension of currently widely used PPT (photo plethysmography) measuring technique is proposed. Most PPT devices only measure PR (pulse rate), but with minimum adaptations to the sensor, a wider range of parameters can be measured. Two of such parameters are PRV and SpO2. This set of parameters gives a better insight into ones physical and mental state than only PR parameter. In order to develop a device that does not obstruct the user in any way, we propose a miniature non-invasive wearable device, and algorithms that do not need any significant processing power in order to identify the biometric parameters. The device is a lightweight battery powered embedded system, that measures and analyses biometric data for later analysis in correlation with one's activity.
