This document describes the design and development of an electro-optical photoplethysmography (PPG) system for acquiring PPG signals to assess the cardiovascular system. The system uses a light emitting diode and photodetector in a finger probe to non-invasively measure blood volume changes with each heartbeat. The acquired PPG signals are digitized and wirelessly transmitted using ZigBee technology. Preliminary testing on normal subjects found the pulse rates measured by the developed system to be accurate and in good agreement with a standard pulse oximeter system. The wireless PPG system allows for remote monitoring of cardiovascular parameters and has potential applications in ambulatory monitoring and postoperative care.

Photoplethysmography (PPG) and Phonocardiography (PCG) are two important non-invasive techniques for monitoring physiological parameters of cardiovascular diagnostics. The PCG signal discloses information about cardiac function through vibrations caused by the working heart. PPG measures relative blood volume changes in the blood vessels close to the skin. This paper emphasizes on simultaneous acquisition of PCG and PPG signals from the same subject with the aid of NIELVIS II+ DAQ and the signals are imported to MATLAB for further processing. Heart rate is extracted from both the signals which are found to be distinctive. This analytical approach of processing these signals can abet for analysis of Heart rate variability (HRV) which is widely used for quantifying neural cardiac control and low variability is particularly predictive of death in patients after myocardial infarction.
Heart rate detection using hilbert transformeSAT Journals
Abstract The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a well known method that can be used to measure Heart Rate Variability (HRV). This paper describes a procedure for processing electrocardiogram signals (ECG) to detect Heart Rate Variability (HRV). In recent years, there have been wide-ranging studies on Heart rate variability in ECG signals and analysis of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). Normally the Heart rate variability is studied based on cycle length variability, heart period variability, RR variability and RR interval tachogram. The HRV provides information about the sympathetic-parasympathetic autonomic stability and consequently about the risk of unpredicted cardiac death. The heart beats in ECG signal are detected by detecting R-Peaks in ECG signals and used to determine useful information about the various cardiac abnormalities. The temporal locations of the R-wave are identified as the locations of the QRS complexes. In the presence of poor signal-to-noise ratios or pathological signals and wrong placement of ECG electrodes, the QRS complex may be missed or falsely detected and may lead to poor results in calculating heart beat in turn inter-beat intervals. We have studied the effects of number of common elements of QRS detection methods using MIT/BIH arrhythmia database and devised a simple and effective method. In this method, first the ECG signal is preprocessed using band-pass filter; later the Hilbert Transform is applied on filtered ECG signal to enhance the presence of QRS complexes, to detect R-Peaks by setting a threshold and finally the RR-intervals are calculated to determine Heart Rate. We have implemented our method using MATLAB on ECG signal which is obtained from MIT/BIH arrhythmia database. Our MATLAB implementation results in the detection of QRS complexes in ECG signal, locate the R-Peaks, computes Heart Rate (HR) by calculating RR-internal and plotting of HR signal to show the information about HRV.

Evaluation of patient electrocardiogram datasets using signal quality indexingjournalBEEI
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used in the hospital emergency rooms for detecting vital signs, such as heart rate variability and respiratory rate. However, the quality of the ECGs is inconsistent. ECG signals lose information because of noise resulting from motion artifacts. To obtain an accurate information from ECG, signal quality indexing (SQI) is used where acceptable thresholds are set in order to select or eliminate the signals for the subsequent information extraction process. A good evaluation of SQI depends on the R-peak detection quality. Nevertheless, most R-peak detectors in the literature are prone to noise. This paper assessed and compared five peak detectors from different resources. The two best peak detectors were further tested using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and then used for SQI evaluation. These peak detectors robustly detected the R-peak for signals that include noise. Finally, the overall SQI of three patient datasets, namely, Fantasia, CapnoBase, and MIMIC-II, was conducted by providing the interquartile range (IQR) and median SQI of the signals as the outputs. The evaluation results revealed that the R-peak detectors developed by Clifford and Behar showed accuracies of 98% and 97%, respectively. By introducing SQI and choosing only high-quality ECG signals, more accurate vital sign information will be achieved.

The development of a wireless LCP-based intracranial pressure sensor for trau...IJECEIAES
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients can lead to death. ICP measurement is required to monitor the condition of a patient and to inform TBI treatment. This work presents a new wireless liquid crystal polymer (LCP) based ICP sensor. The sensor is designed with the purpose of measuring ICP and wirelessly transmitting the signal to an external monitoring unit. The sensor is minimally invasive and biocompatible due to the mechanical design and the use of LCP. A prototype sensor and associated wireless module are fabricated and tested to demonstrate the functionality and performance of the wireless LCP-based ICP sensor. Experimental results show that the wireless LCP-based ICP sensor can operate in the pressure range of 0 - 60.12 mmHg. Based on repeated measurements, the sensitivity of the sensor is found to be 25.62 µVmmHg-1, with a standard deviation of ± 1.16 µVmmHg-1. This work represents a significant step towards achieving a wireless, implantable, minimally invasive ICP monitoring strategy for TBI patients.
Utilizing ECG Waveform Features as New Biometric Authentication Method IJECEIAES
In this study, we are proposing a practical way for human identification based on a new biometric method. The new method is built on the use of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal waveform features, which are produced from the process of acquiring electrical activities of the heart by using electrodes placed on the body. This process is launched over a period of time by using a recording device to read and store the ECG signal. On the contrary of other biometrics method like voice, fingerprint and iris scan, ECG signal cannot be copied or manipulated. The first operation for our system is to record a portion of 30 seconds out of whole ECG signal of a certain user in order to register it as user template in the system. Then the system will take 7 to 9 seconds in authenticating the template using template matching techniques. 44 subjects‟ raw ECG data were downloaded from Physionet website repository. We used a template matching technique for the authentication process and Linear SVM algorithm for the classification task. The accuracy rate was 97.2% for the authentication process and 98.6% for the classification task; with false acceptance rate 1.21%.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS FOR CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA C...IAEME Publication
In this paper an effective and most reliable method for appropriate classification of cardiac arrhythmia using automatic Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been proposed. The results are encouraging and are found to have produced a very confident and efficient arrhythmia classification, which is easily applicable in diagnostic decision support system. The authors have employed 3 neural network classifiers to classify three types of beats of ECG signal, namely Normal (N), and two abnormal beats Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) and Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC). The classifiers used in this paper are K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC) and Multi-Class Support Vector Machine (MSVM). The performance of the classifiers is evaluated using 5 parametric measures namely Sensitivity (Se), Specificity (Sp), Precision (Pr), Bit Error Rate (BER) and Accuracy (A). Hence MSVM classifier using Crammers method is very effective for proper ECG beat classification.

Problems in Getting Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring using Infrared PPGIJSRD
In the current study, a non-invasive technique for blood pressure (BP) measurement based on the detection of Photoplethysmographic (PPG) pulses during pressure-cuff deflation was compared to sphygmomanometryâ€â€the Korotkoff sounds technique. The PPG Senor used to measure blood pressure using the technique of correlation of volume and pressure. The performance of portable and wearable biosensorsis highly influenced by motion artifact, artery stiffness, measurement sites, light wavelength, sensor pressure, A novel real time system is proposed for accurate motion-tolerant extraction of heart rate (HR) and pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO2) from wearable Photoplethysmographic (PPG) biosensors. Recently, monitoring of blood pressure fluctuation in the daily life is focused on in the hypertension care area to predict the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease events. The main problem is using with digital BP monitoring machine is Doctors are not believe on digital machines they believe with only sphygmomanometer. In this paper, in order to propose an alternative system to the existed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) sphygmomanometer, to sort out the problems using small wearable device consisting of photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensors. Recent advances in optical technology have facilitated the use of high-intensity green LEDs for PPG, increasing the adoption of this measurement technique. In this paper, we briefly present the problems of PPG sensor and recent developments in wearable pulse rate sensors with green LEDs.
Extraction of respiratory rate from ppg signals using pca and emdeSAT Journals
Abstract Photoplethysmography is a non-invasive electro-optic method developed by Hertzman, which provides information on the blood volume flowing at a particular test site on the body close to the skin. PPG waveform contains two components; one, attributable to the pulsatile component in the vessels, i.e. the arterial pulse, which is caused by the heartbeat, and gives a rapidly alternating signal (AC component). The second one is due to the blood volume and its change in the skin which gives a steady signal that changes very slowly (DC component). PPG signal consists of not only the heart-beat information but also a respiratory signal. Estimation of respiration rates from Photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals would be an alternative approach for obtaining respiration related information.. There have been several efforts on PPG Derived Respiration (PDR), these methods are based on different signal processing techniques like filtering, wavelets and other statistical methods, which work by extraction of respiratory trend embedded into various physiological signals. PCA identifies patterns in data, and expresses the data in such a way as to highlight their similarities and differences. Since patterns in data can be hard to find in data of high dimension, where the luxury of graphical representation is not available, PCA is a powerful tool for analyzing such data. Due to external stimuli, biomedical signals are in general non-linear and non-stationary. Empirical Mode Decomposition is ideally suited to extract essential components which are characteristic of the underlying biological or physiological processes. The basis functions, called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) represent a complete set of locally orthogonal basis functions whose amplitude and frequency may vary over time. The contribution reviews the technique of EMD and related algorithms and discusses illustrative applications. Test results on PPG signals of the well known MIMIC database from Physiobank archive reveal that the proposed EMD method has efficiently extracted respiratory information from PPG signals. The evaluated similarity parameters in both time and frequency domains for original and estimated respiratory rates have shown the superiority of the method.

Motion artifacts reduction in cardiac pulse signal acquired from video imaging IJECEIAES
This study examines the possibility of remotely measuring the cardiac pulse activity of a patient, which could be an alternative technique to the classical method. This type of measurement is non-invasive. However, several limitations may deteriorate the accuracy of the results, including changes in ambient illumination, motion artifacts (MA) and other interferences that may occur through video recording. The paper in hand presents a new approach as a remedy for the aforementioned problem in cardiac pulse signals extracted from facial video recordings. Partitioning provides the basis for the presented MA reduction method; the acquired signals are partitioned into two sets for each second and every partition is shifted to the mean level and then all the partitions are recombined again into one signal, which is followed by low-pass filtering for enhancement. The proposed compared with ordinary pulse oximetry Photoplethysmographic (PPG) method. The resulted correlation coefficient was found (0.957) when calculated between the results of the proposed method and the ordinary one. Experiments were implemented using a common camera by creating a dataset from 11 subjects. The ease of implementation of this method with a simple that can be used to monitor the cardiac pulse rates in both home and the clinical environments.

A Wireless Methodology of Heart Attack Detectionijsrd.com
The wrist watch with Heart Attack Detection is equipment that is used daily to indicate heart condition, to detect heart attack and to call for emergency help. It was designed specially to help patients with heart disease.This includes three common sub units. They are Circuit, Analysis Algorithm, and Bluetooth Communication. The first one is to wear on the wrist of the patient to captures the abnormal heart beat waves from the victim and the alternate methods are installed under the stick. This project is based on the previous project “Wireless Heart Attack Detector with GPS†of Fall 2004 [1]. we consider a big improvement in reducing the complexity of the project greatly, in saving power consumption of the project to run much fewer codes and in making the project to run at a faster time. No wire is attached to the wrists. In our project, the ECG waveform is transmitted wirelessly from the wrists to the watch. This gives the user great flexibility while the program is switched on and running. User can drive safely, can use restroom easily and can function normally like without the project. Previous project had the wire connection. All the hardware on the walking watch would have been strapped to the wrists. This will not make the project functional and marketable. Our project is completely portable. Heart condition is displayed in our project. The previous project did not inform the user about his heart condition. We display the heart condition through two LEDs as low-risk (alert level between 4 and 6) and high risk (alert level between 7 and 9). The user can know their heart condition and take proper action to avoid the fatal moment. Proper action could be slowing down and taking a rest.

Noninvasive blood glucose monitoring system based on near-infrared method IJECEIAES
Diabetes is considered one of the life-threatening diseases in the world which need continuous monitoring to avoid the complication of diabetes. There is a need to develop a non-invasive monitoring system that avoids the risk of infection problems and pain caused by invasive monitoring techniques. This paper presents a method for developing a noninvasive technique to predict the blood glucose concentration (BCG) based on the Near-infrared (NIR) light sensor. A prototype is developed using a finger sensor based on LED of 940 nm wavelength to collect photoplethysmography (PPG) signal which is variable depending on the glucose concentration variance, a module circuit to preprocess PPG signals is realized, which includes an amplifier and analog filter circuits, an Arduino UNO is used to analog-to-digital conversion. A digital Butterworth filterer is used to remove PPG signal trends, then detect the PPG data peaks to determine the relationship between the PPG signal and (BCG) and use it as input parameters to build the calibration model based on linear regression. Experiments show that the Root Mean Squares Error (RMSE) of the prediction is between 8.264mg/dL and 13.166 mg/dL, the average of RMSE is about 10.44mg/dL with a correlation coefficient (R^2) of 0.839, it is observed that the prediction of glucose concentration is in the clinically acceptable region of the standard Clark Error Grid (CEG).
Denoising of Radial Bioimpedance Signals using Adaptive Wavelet Packet Transf...iosrjce
In recent years, the accurate computer aided diagnosis of the cardiovascular diseases is gaining
momentum. In addition to accuracy, non-invasiveness of the measurement techniques has become the need of
the hour. Impedance cardiography is one such method which has become a synonym for indirect assessment of
monitoring the stroke volume, cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters by monitoring the blood
volume changes of the body. Changes occurring in the blood volume within a certain body segment due to
various physiological processes are captured in terms of the impedance variations of that segment. But this
method is affected by electrical noise such as power line hum and motion and respiratory artifacts due to
movement of the subject while acquiring the bioimpedance signal. This can cause errors in the automatic
extraction of the characteristic points for estimation the hemodynamic parameters. This paper presents two
algorithms for baseline wander removal from the bioimpedance waveform obtained at the radial pulse of the left
hand, one based on wavelet packet decomposition and the other based on the Kalman filter. The impedance
signals have been acquired by using the peripheral pulse analyzer. The results for the wavelet packet decomposition are found to be better than that of the Kalman filter.

Abstract
The revolution in semiconductor technology has lead to the development of efficient optical techniques for acquisition of
biomedical signals which can be used effectively in diagnostics. The interaction of light with biological tissue is complex and
includes the optical processes like scattering, absorption, reflection, transmission and fluorescence. The amount of light received
by the photo-detector varies in accordance with the blood volume, blood vessel wall movement and the orientation of red blood
cells (RBC). In the present work a real-time electro-optical based photoplethysmograpgh system is developed to monitor and
record the variations in the volume of blood with each heart beat resulting in the form of a signal called photoplethysmogram
(PPG). The developed sensor unit consists of a source of light and photo-detector both packed in the form of probe and fitted to
patient’s index finger. The PPG signal acquired comprise a pulsatile (AC) waveform attributed to cardiac synchronous changes
in the blood volume with each heart beat and is superimposed on a slowly varying (DC) baseline with various lower frequency
components attributed to respiration, sympathetic nervous system activity and thermoregulation. For remote monitoring of PPG
signals, a system is designed and developed based on ZigBee wireless technology. From the transmitted and received PPG
signals, parameters like pulse rate (PR), average pulse rate (APR), pulse rate variability (PRV) and frequency spectrum can be
determined which are of diagnostic importance. The PPG system designed and developed in the present work is non-invasive,
portable, reliable and cost effective. The system can be effectively used for handicapped patients, ambulatory conditions and in
post operative care units for continuous monitoring and assessment of cardiovascular patients. The preliminary study and results
shows that the developed wireless PPG system can be an alternative to the traditional methods used for remote monitor of
cardiovascular and respiratory system and their disorders.

1. INTRODUCTION
The problems related to the cardiovascular system which are
generally diagnosed by electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood
pressure (BP) will not give clear information about
peripheral blood circulation, volume changes and oxygen
contents in the blood in relation with heart functioning. With
each heart beat a pulse radiates out to the peripheral
circulation causing a significant change in the arterial and
capillary diameters which is equivalent to the changes in
volume of the blood flowing in these vessels, as shown in
Fig.1. The characteristics of these pulses are unique and are
influenced by arterial ageing and diseases [1]. These pulses
can be detected non-invasively using PPG system. The
measurement of blood volume changes in the peripheral
circulation beneath the skin by means of PPG depends on
the fact that blood absorbs infrared light more strongly than
skin and tissues [2]. The change in blood volume caused by
the pressure pulse can be detected by illuminating the skin
from a light source and measuring the amount of light
transmitted to a photo-detector. The signal obtained from the
photo-detector is related to pulsatile arterial blood volume
changes and the signal is called as PPG, which provides a
means of determining the properties of the vascular tissue,
peripheral blood circulation and cardiac activity during each
cardiac cycle.

Fig. 1 Change in the arterial diameters with each heart beat
The PPG signal is complex and has both high frequency
(pulse shape) and low frequency components (vasomotor
activity) [3]. The main peripheral sites where the PPG can
be obtained are the tissue pads of the fingers, ears and toes
where there is a high degree of superficial vasculature [2].
The studies reveal the differences in the characteristics of
PPG signals such as pulse timing, amplitude and shape
features in accordance with the changes in blood volume.
Thus by studying the pressure pulses the important
information about the cardiovascular mechanism can be
extracted.
Monitoring the peripheral pulse is more useful and
dependable than monitoring the heart rate derived from the
ECG in the case of a heart block because it can immediately
indicate the cessation of blood circulation in the limb
terminals. Moreover, a photoelectric pick-up transducer is
much easier to apply than the three ECG electrodes. The
amplitude of the PPG signal obtained is also quite large as
compared to the ECG signal and therefore gives better
signal-to-noise ratio [4]. However, the technique is severely
subject to motion artifacts and need to be taken care [5].
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1 PPG Signal Acquisition
In the present work a data acquisition system (DAS) has
been developed to acquire, monitor and store the PPG signal
as shown in Fig. 2. The transmittance method PPG system
consists of a ultra-red LED (660 nm) as light source and
light dependent resistor (LDR) as a photo detector,
amplifier, filter, ADC and PC. The LED and LDR are
mounted in an enclosure in the form of a finger probe that
fits over the tip of the patient’s index finger with good
contact to the skin surface and their optical axes are parallel
to each other. Both LED and LDR are matched in their
wavelength and compactness, and are highly sensitive with
fast response. When the power is switched on, light is
emitted by LED transmits through the fingertip of the
subject’s finger and the unabsorbed transmitted light is
detected by the photo-detector. With each contraction of the
heart, blood is forced to the extremities and the amount of
blood in the finger increases [6]. It alters the optical density
with the result that the light transmission through the finger
reduces and the voltage in the output circuit of photo
detector varies accordingly due to change in the LDR
resistance. The low magnitude voltage of approximately 6
mV is amplified using an amplifier with a gain of 100. A
high pass filter reduces the size of the dominant DC
component and enables the pulsatile AC component to be
boosted to a nominal 0.6 V peak-to-peak level. A notch
filter is used to remove 50 Hz power line interference that
might be present in the signal and a 2nd
order Butterworth
low pass filter with a cutoff frequency 8 Hz is used to
remove any high frequency noise. The reduced noise output
voltage which varies with the amount of blood in the finger
and its wave shape closely follows the pressure pulse is
displayed on a digital storage oscilloscope.
The PPG signal is further digitized, acquired, monitored and
stored in a computer system using a dedicated DAS with
built-in ADC. The DAS has 8 channels with voltage range
of ±10V and resolution of ±19.5 mV. Figure 3 shows the
PPG data recording from a subject under stationary
condition. The PPG signal acquired during non stationary
may be affected by various noises in the patient’s
environment [7]. The acquired PPG pulses are further
processed using Matlab signal processing tool to reduce
noises introduced, if any, due to motion artifacts, ambient
light interferences, and poor contact of light sources with the
skin surface [8]. The moving average method, adaptive
filters or periodic moving average filters can be used to
remove motion artifacts [9], [10].

signal recording from a subject
PPG works according to two physical principles. First, the
pulse wave is generated based on changes in blood volume
in the arteries and capillaries (Fig. 4). Second, the fact that
oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and reduced hemoglobin (Hb) have

different absorption spectra. It is assumed that the amount of
light absorbed by tissue and skin will remain constant
irrespective of their absorbency. With this assumption it is
observed that the only change in the absorption of the
transmitted light will be from the increase or decrease of the
blood volume in the arteries and capillaries. The measured
volume change is actually an average of all of the arteries
and capillaries in the space being measured. The signal that
is received is dependent on the tissue type, skin type,
position of the receiver and transmitter, blood volume
content of the arteries and capillaries, and the properties of
the sensor and receiver [6]. The absorbance of light
radiation has a pulsatile component, which is due to the
fluctuations in the volume of arterial blood between the
source and the detector. The DC component of very low
frequency corresponds to absorption due to non pulsatile
arterial blood, venous and capillary blood and tissue.

2.2 Wireless Transmission and Reception of PPG
The current systems used by hospitals have become unsuited
for continuous long duration real-time monitoring. The
systems are cable based, large in size, more power
consumption and not easy to carry; also require to be used
next to the patient. These limitations reduce the mobility of
patients and medical staff, increasing their burden and risk.
Also, in order to frequently measure the patient's
physiological indicators from home during normal activities
(such as people with chronic diseases or elderly patients,
etc.); wireless monitoring is found to be more appropriate
and effective. In order to achieve this basic PPG system is
further developed into a wireless PPG system using ZigBee
wireless technology as shown in Fig. 5.
2.2.1 ZigBee Wireless Module:
The developed wireless real-time PPG health monitoring
system is based on ZigBee wireless standard which is of
low-cost, low power consumption and flexible network
topology. In this work point to point communication
between the two ZigBee modules is used. All wireless
sensor hardware operates upon a short-range communication
between 40 to 120 meters. The ZigBee based on IEEE
802.15.4 standard, defines the characteristics of the physical
and the medium access control (MAC) layer for the low
power of personal area network (PAN). The power of
ZigBee module is about 2 mW when running operation and
lower than 1 micro-watt when is in sleep operation modes
[11], [12].
Fig5 Block diagram of PPG signal Acquisition with ZigBee
transmitter and receiver
2.2.2 PPG Transmitter Module
Second stage of the work is the development of wireless
remote monitoring of the real-time PPG data of subjects
using standard ZigBee wireless technology. The transmitter
section consists of PPG unit, ARM processor, personal
computer and ZigBee wireless module. The acquired and
signal conditioned PPG signal is received by the ARM
Processor which has inbuilt ADC. ARM processor is
interfaced with PC for display of PPG signals and can be
analyzed using Matlab code to find its pulse rate. In this
work ARM processor is used for processing the acquired
PPG signal, which sends the PPG data to ZigBee transmitter
module for further communication. [11], [12].
2.2.3 PPG Receiver Module:
The receiver section consists of ZigBee module which
receives PPG data. The data received subsequently is
transferred to a PC by RS232 port. The PC is used for real-
time monitoring and storing the PPG data for further
analysis and diagnosis. The physician can also access
current PPG data and able to compute PR, APR, PRV and
frequency spectrum using Matlab [11]. The professional
medical staff will observe the data and do statistical analysis
to provide necessary consulting services, achieving the
remote medical monitoring and treatment.
In the present work PPG signals are acquired from 20
normal male subjects aged between 26 to 52 years (41±7.1)
and 10 female normal subjects aged between 28 to 44 years
(35.2±5.4) by using the above developed system at a
sampling rate of 240 samples/second. The data is collected
for different durations of 1 min, 2, 3, 4 & 5 min in order to
assure the reliability and repeatability of the data. All the
PPG signals can be analyzed by developing algorithms in
Matlab to find the PR, APR, PRV and frequency
components. The local hospital ethical committee has given
the consent and clearance to carry out the present work.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The pressure pulse wave changes in shape as it moves
toward the periphery and undergoes amplification and
alterations in its shape and temporal characteristics. These
changes may be due to reflection of the pulse wave and the
tapering down of the arteries towards the periphery. The
shape of the pulse will significantly change during
abnormalities in the blood vessels and blockages [13].
Figure 6 shows the real-time display of PPG signal on a
digital CRO. Figure 7 shows the typical PPG signals
acquired from a normal male subject before transmission
and Figure 8 shows PPG of the same subject at receiver
section located at a distance of 50 meters from transmitter. It
is observed that PPG signal before and after transmission is
found to be same without any distortion. The acquired PPG
pulse shows two phases, the anacrotic phase being the rising
edge of the pulse, and the catactrotic phase being the falling
edge of the pulse. The first phase is primarily concerned
with systole and second phase with diastole [14].
Figure 9 and 10 shows the PPG pulses of 1 min recorded
data and the corresponding PR calculated for the subject 1
and 2 respectively. The calculated PR values are in good
correlation with that of PR measured by standard pulse
oximeter as shown in Table 1 for five normal subjects. The
PR calculated at the transmitter and receiver side for the
different durations is also in good correlation with standard
method.

4. CONCLUSIONS
In the present work an accurate and reliable electro-optical
based wireless PPG data acquisition system is developed for
monitoring and analysis of PPG signal. PPG signals
recorded are found to be accurate and precise. The
preliminary work carried out on normal subjects to find PR
of cardiovascular system for different durations of PPG data
is found to be accurate and is in good correlation with
standard traditional methods. These results show that

developed PPG system can be used as an alternative
diagnostic tool to study the functionality of cardiovascular
system and monitor the high risk heart patients remotely.
The future work of this study is to find APR, PRV and
frequency spectrum of PPG at both transmitted end and
receiver end. To study the effect of different heart ailments
on the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems
and respiratory related ailments in conjunction with ECG.
