Abstract

. In this pilot study, we have introduced a novel iPPG method where by measuring variations in color of reflected light, i.e., Hue, and can therefore measure both HR and respiratory rate (RR) from the video of a subject's face. This paper was performed on 25 healthy individuals (Ages 20-30, 15 males and 10 females, and skin color was Fitzpatrick scale 1-6). For each subject we took two 20 second video of the subject's face with minimal movement, one with flash ON and one with flash OFF. While recording the videos we simultaneously measuring HR using a Biosync B-50DL Finger Heart Rate Monitor, and RR using self-reporting. This paper shows that our proposed approach of measuring iPPG using Hue (range 0-0.1) gives more accurate readings than the Green channel. HR/Hue (range 0-0.1) ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]-value = 4.1617, and RMSE = 0.8887) is more accurate compared with HR/Green ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]-value = 11.60172, and RMSE = 0.9068). RR/Hue (range 0-0.1) ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]-value = 0.2885, and RMSE = 3.8884) is more accurate compared with RR/Green ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]-value = 0.5608, and RMSE = 5.6885). We hope that this hardware agnostic approach for detection of vital signals will have a huge potential impact in telemedicine, and can be used to tackle challenges, such as continuous non-contact monitoring of neo-natal and elderly patients. An implementation of the algorithm can be found at https://pulser.thinkbiosolution.com.

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.
