The heart care fingertip pulse oximeter will display two essential measurements - oxygen saturation level and pulse rate. Oxygen saturation refers to the amount of oxygen carried by red blood cells in your body. It is represented as a percentage. Pulse rate, on the other hand, measures the num...
pulse oximetryPPGcalibration-freePC interfaceSpO2Oxygen saturation in human beings is measured as the ratio of the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin to the maximum amount it could carry. A pulse oximeter is a device which measures this saturated oxygen content using the technique of ...
Measures the light transmitted through a tissue – transmissive oximetry Measures the light transmitted by a tissue –reflectance oximetry In a nutshell, a pulse oximeter works by measuring changes in frequencies of light absorption in oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Once the test is done, the car...
A pulse oximeter measures pulse and oxygen. Image via Yale Medical Group. postural tachycardia:Tachycardia is a heart rate that exceeds the normal range (usually indicated by a pulse greater than 100). Some people with infections have tachycardia all the time, but many only have postural tachycar...

light-emitting diodes (LED) to illuminate the tissue just below the surface of the skin, and a photosensor for measuring the amount of light that reflects off the skin. But in addition to the standard pulse oximeter hardware, they also include a TCS34725 color sensor to quantify the user’...
A pulse oximeter measures both your pulse and the oxygen saturation in your blood. You’ve probably had one of these on your finger or earlobe at the doctor’s office or a hospital. Traditionally, they consist of a red LED and an IR LED. A detector measures how much of each light make...
Where α measures the absorption rate of light in atrial blood and d2 is the AC amplitude of the PPG signal (see Figure 3). Idiastoleis equal to the DC component labelled d1. Figure 3. Light attenuation through tissue. By computing AC and DC from a PPG signal, we are able to deter...
Kurtosis measures the peakedness of the first derivative 1620 of the PPG signal. The peakedness is sensitive to both amplitude and period (frequency) changes, and may be utilized as an input to determine respiration information, such as respiration rate. Kurtosis may be calculated based on the ...
locations. The emitter16emits light which passes through the blood perfused tissue, and the detector18photoelectrically senses the amount of light reflected or transmitted by the tissue. The patient monitoring system10measures the intensity of light that is received at the detector18as a function of...
