Overview

Photoplethysmographic parameters were associated with mood and fatigue in students; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Are pulse waveform parameters indicative of mood states and chronic fatigue in healthy college students?

P
Population
43 healthy college students (31 men, 12 women), ages 19-24.
I
Intervention
Measurement of pulse waveform parameters (PWPs) via photoplethysmography (PTG) and pulse rate variability.
O
Outcome
Correlation between pulse waveform parameters and mood states/chronic fatigue (assessed via Profile of Mood States and Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire).surrogate

Pulse waveform parameters derived from photoplethysmography may serve as physiological indicators of mood states and chronic fatigue, with notable gender differences.
