Why the study?

Persistent stress impacts health and quality of life, and this study evaluates photoplethysmogram signal morphology parameters for mental stress assessment.

Do photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal morphology parameters change in response to mental stress in healthy subjects?

Population

18 healthy subjects

Comparison

Stress assessment using a modified Trier Social Stress Test

Key result

Mental stress was most sensitively detected by PPG morphology parameters including forward wave amplitude A1, diastole duration Td, reflected wave delay T13, and pulse interval Tp.

Overview

PPG morphology parameters may enable non-invasive stress monitoring; leaves open validation before clinical adoption.

Observational (n=18)

Structured PICO

Do photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal morphology parameters change in response to mental stress in healthy subjects?

P
Population
18 healthy subjects undergoing a modified Trier Social Stress Test for mental stress assessment.
E
Exposure
Mental stress induced by a modified Trier Social Stress Test
O
Outcome
Sensitivity of six photoplethysmogram (PPG) morphological parameters (A1, T1, Td, T12, T13, Tp) to mental stresssurrogate

Specific morphological parameters derived from photoplethysmogram signals, such as forward wave amplitude and diastole duration, are sensitive indicators of mental stress.

Rinkevičius et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Mental stress (n=18). Modified Trier Social Stress Test was evaluated on Sensitivity of PPG morphology parameters to mental stress. Mental stress was most sensitively detected by PPG morphology parameters including forward wave amplitude A1, diastole duration Td, reflected wave delay T13, and pulse interval Tp.
