Motion-tolerant heart rate detection independent on attached location for wrist-worn PPG device

Abstract

Photoplethysmography (PPG) -based heart rate measurement at anterior region of forearm (palm side) was explored for wrist-worn PPG device. Our motion artifact reduction framework showed high robustness at near the wrist where the motion artifact had large impact on PPG signal. Furthermore, our implemented framework on edge device was verified running in real-time processing. These results suggested realizing various applications such as healthcare by PPG-based heart rate measurement at anterior region of forearm.
