Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the Senbiosys device in measuring blood pressure (BP) by photoplethysmography (PPG) in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Methods: This is a substudy within the Senbiosys trial, which is a prospective, single-arm, single-center study, evaluating the accuracy of BP estimation of the Senbiosys device compared to invasive BP. Patients referred for coronary angiography underwent invasive BP measurement and simultaneously wore the Senbiosys ring.

In this work, we study the accuracy of ear and finger photoplethysmography (PPG) based inter-beat interval (IBI) detection and estimation compared to the R-to-R interval (RRI) values derived from the electrocardiography (ECG). Seven male subjects with a mean age of 34.29±5.

In this work, we evaluate the accuracy of our cuffless photoplethysmography based blood pressure monitoring (PPG-BPM) algorithm. The algorithm is evaluated on an ultra low power photoplethysmography (PPG) signal acquired from the Senbiosys Ring. The study involves six male subjects wearing the ring for continuous finger PPG recordings and non-invasive brachial cuff inflated every two to ten minutes for intermittent blood pressure (BP) measurements.

In this work, we present a low-complexity photoplethysmography-based respiratory rate monitoring (PPG-RRM) algorithm that achieves high accuracy through a novel fusion method. The proposed technique extracts three respiratory-induced variation signals, namely the maximum slope, the amplitude, and the frequency, from the PPG signal. The variation signals undergo time domain peak detection to identify the inter-breath intervals and produce three different instantaneous respiratory rate (IRR) estimates.

In this work, we present a photoplethy smography-based blood pressure monitoring algorithm (PPG-BPM) that solely requires a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. The technology is based on pulse wave analysis (PWA) of PPG signals retrieved from different body locations to continuously estimate the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The proposed algorithm extracts morphological features from the PPG signal and maps them to SBP and DBP values using a multiple linear regression (MLR) model.

Background: Wearable devices can provide user-friendly, accurate, and continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring to assess patients' vital signs and achieve remote patient management. Remote BP monitoring can substantially improve BP control. The newest cuffless BP monitoring devices have emerged in patient care using photoplethysmography.

Photoplethysmography (PPG) enables wearable vitals monitoring. Nevertheless, it is still limited by the few mA of the LEDs driving current. We present a PPG sensor integrating an array of dedicated pinned-photodiodes (PPD) with a full readout chain integrated in a 0.
