Health-tracking from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals is significantly hindered by motion artifacts (MAs). Although many algorithms exist to detect MAs, the corrupted signal often remains unexploited. This work introduces a novel method able to reconstruct noisy PPGs and facilitate uninterrupted health monitoring.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers developed a classification model using ECG and PPG recordings instead of traditional cuff-based methods, analyzing data from 69 subjects to identify key features for discriminating between normotensive and hypertensive individuals.
  • * The approach showed that prior calibration enhances accuracy in risk assessment, with machine learning achieving over 96% accuracy after multiple calibration measurements, suggesting potential for use in wearable devices for hypertension monitoring.

This article introduces a new and unobtrusive wearable monitoring device based on electrodermal activity (EDA) to be used in health-related computing systems. This paper introduces the description of the wearable device capable of acquiring the EDA of a subject in order to detect his/her calm/distress condition from the acquired physiological signals. The lightweight wearable device is placed in the wrist of the subject to allow continuous physiological measurements.

This paper introduces an architecture as a proof-of-concept for emotion detection and regulation in smart health environments. The aim of the proposal is to detect the patient's emotional state by analysing his/her physiological signals, facial expression and behaviour. Then, the system provides the best-tailored actions in the environment to regulate these emotions towards a positive mood when possible.
