Does a flexible organic/inorganic hybrid near-infrared PPG sensor improve physiological monitoring performance compared to commercial sensors?
A novel flexible, hybrid near-infrared PPG sensor demonstrates superior responsivity and lower power consumption compared to commercial sensors for continuous cardiovascular monitoring.
Xu et al. (2017) studied this question. The flexible near-infrared PPG sensors demonstrated superior heart rate variability monitoring and pulse pressure tracking compared to commercial sensors while consuming less power.
