About this title

Synopsis

Photoplethysmography: Technology, Signal Analysis, and Applications is the first comprehensive volume on the theory, principles, and technology (sensors and electronics) of photoplethysmography (PPG). It provides a detailed description of the current state-of-the-art technologies/optical components enabling the extreme miniaturization of such sensors, as well as comprehensive coverage of PPG signal analysis techniques including machine learning and artificial intelligence. The book also outlines the huge range of PPG applications in healthcare, with a strong focus on the contribution of PPG in wearable sensors and PPG for cardiovascular assessment.

• Presents the underlying principles and technology surrounding PPG
• Includes applications for healthcare and wellbeing
• Focuses on PPG in wearable sensors and devices
• Presents advanced signal analysis techniques
• Includes cutting-edge research, applications and future directions

About the Authors

Panicos A. Kyriacou is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Director of the Biomedical Research Centre at City, University of London, UK. Prof Kyriacou has a long track record in basic and applied research in Photoplethysmography (PPG). His primary focus is the utilisation of PPG for the innovation of new disruptive technologies for the early diagnosis of disease and the facilitation of unobtrusive health and fitness monitoring.

John Allen is a Professor of Biosensors and Bioinstrumentation at Coventry University, UK. Prof. Allen has an established track record in research covering novel vascular optical sensing technologies for the assessment of the microcirculation and innovative PPG pulse measurement and analysis for the detection of (cardio-)vascular disease. He is a registered Clinical Scientist and has wide-ranging expertise in clinical physiological measurement.
