“…The PPGI is suitable for measuring the same physiological parameters as PPG, including dynamic parameters [27,65,66]. Some examples of dynamic parameters include: capillary refill time, muscle pump efficacy, venous outflow, pulse characteristics (rate, variability, rhythm) [11,12,49], and arterial oxygen saturation. The main divergence between PPGI and PPG is in the composition of the measured light intensities and the number of elements used for detection [54,67].…”

“…Developing new contactless technologies, and optimizing existing ones has the potential to create safer methods of diagnosing and monitoring preterm infants. In addition to being safer and having fewer potential complications, contactless monitoring may be a more cost-effective solution [11,12]. This article is part one of a two-part series, and it examines the technological aspects of contactless imaging approaches.…”

The sick preterm infant monitoring is an intriguing job that medical staff in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) must deal with on a daily basis. As a standards monitoring procedure, preterm infants are monitored via sensors and electrodes that are firmly attached to their fragile and delicate skin and connected to processing monitors. However, an alternative exists in contactless imaging to record such physiological signals (we call it as Physio-Markers), detecting superficial changes and internal structures activities which can be used independently of, or aligned with, conventional monitors. Countless advantages can be gained from unobtrusive monitoring not limited to: (1) quick data generation; (2) decreasing physical and direct contact with skin, which reduces skin breakdown and minimizes risk of infection; and (3) reduction of electrodes and probes connected to clinical monitors and attached to the skin, which allows greater body surface-area for better care. This review is an attempt to build a solid ground for and to provide a clear perspective of the potential clinical applications of technologies inside NICUs that use contactless imaging modalities such as Visible Light Imaging (VLI), Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), and Infrared Thermography (IRT).
