Motion artifact cancellation in wearable photoplethysmography using gyroscope

Lee, H., Chung, H., Lee, J.·2019·IEEE Sensors Journal

Abstract

Wearable reflectance-type photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, in the form of a band or watch, have recently gained significant attention for real-time heart rate (HR) monitoring applications. To accurately estimate the HR, even during intensive exercise, much effort has focused on simultaneously measured accelerometer signals that cancel out motion artifacts (MAs) from the PPG signal. However, the accelerometer does not always measure true MAs, as it measures not only the acceleration of motion but also gravitational acceleration corresponding to each axis of the accelerometer. In addition, the measured acceleration of the motion itself does not always coincide with the true motion. In this paper, we address the limitations of accelerometers and present an approach using a gyroscope to overcome the issues described. To the best of our knowledge, the limitations of the acceleration signals for MA cancellation have not been addressed in-depth. Here, we describe our developed wearable reflectance-type PPG sensor and compare the HR estimation performance between using a gyroscope and an accelerometer from 24 subjects. Our results showed that the gyroscope-assisted approach exhibited better performance than the accelerometer-assisted approach, especially for an exercise involving walking.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Secondary sensors can be integrated into PPG sensors to detect motion, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, piezoelectric transducers, or another wavelength of light as a motion reference.

    “As implemented by consumer-grade HR monitors, secondary sensors can also be integrated into PPG sensors to detect motion. These include accelerometers [175,176,177,178,179], gyroscopes [179,180], piezoelectric transducers [181], or the utilization of another wavelength of light as a motion reference [182,183].”
  • Accelerometers and gyroscopes are the standards, but when trying to measure micro motions such as finger tapping, they do not always pick up on the motion because the wrist remains still.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
