Özet:

The paper deals with the photoplethysmographic (PPG) optical sensor usage for non-invasive acquisition of vital information about the cardiovascular system from different parts of the human skin surface. Finger-ring and ear-clip realizations of the transmission-type PPG sensor were tested first. For the next PPG signal recording, the reflection PPG sensor was placed on fingers and on a wrist. PPG signal properties were described by energetic and temporal parameters and their statistical parameters together with determined instantaneous heart rate values. Our final aim was to find conditions, limitations, and recommendations for development of a wearable PPG sensor working in a magnetic field environment. Keywords: photoplethysmographic sensor; transmission and reflection modes; PPG signal analysis and processing
