Ashima Sahoo, G. S. Rath . Real Time Estimation of Various Physiological Parameters by Analysis of PPG Signal. International Journal of Computer Applications. 57, 15 ( November 2012), 11-15. DOI=10.5120/9189-3611
In today's world, due to the living styles of the people there is a need to check the health issue continuously. People of different age groups need to self monitor their physiological body parameters regularly in order to control and prevent various abnormalities. This paper aimed at designing a noninvasive and real time physiological parameters estimation system using wavelets. This paper presents a novel algorithm and its real time implementation details for denoising highly non stationary PPG signals and finding out pulse rate, systolic & diastolic time and hence total cardiac cycle. Hence important parameters of cardiology can be easily measured at a time from PPG signals that can continuously monitor the health of an individual with a cardiac disorder.
