Abstract:In the bioinformation photoplethysmography (PPG) measurement, the precision and repeatability could be impacted by the contact pressure between the optical sensor and the measurement site. Taking the finger’s geometrical, mechanical, and optical characteristics into consideration, finite element models and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation methods were used to quantitatively analyze the effects of the deformation of different finger layers under contact pressure on its optical parameters and PPG signals during finge… Show more
