Heart Rate Estimation From Wrist-Worn Photoplethysmography: A Review

Biswas, Dwaipayan, Simoes-Capela, Neide, Van Hoof, Chris, Van Helleputte, Nick·2019·IEEE Sensors Journal

Abstract

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a low-cost, non-invasive, and optical technique used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular tissue bed, measured from the skin surface. It has traditionally been used in commercial medical devices for oxygen saturation, blood pressure monitoring, and cardiac activity for assessing peripheral vascular disease and autonomic function. There has been a growing interest to incorporate PPG sensors in daily life, capable of use in ambulatory settings. However, inferring cardiac information (e.g. heart rate) from PPG traces in such situations is extremely challenging, because of interferences caused by motion. Following the IEEE Signal Processing Cup in 2015, numerous methods have been proposed for estimating particularly the average heart rate using wrist-worn PPG during physical activity. Details on PPG technology, sensor development, and applications have been well documented in the literature. Hence, in this paper, we have presented a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art research on heart rate estimation from wrist-worn PPG signals. Our review also encompasses brief theoretical details about PPG sensing and other potential applications-biometric identification, disease diagnosis using wrist PPG. This paper will set a platform for future research on pervasive monitoring using wrist PPG.

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.
