The extraction of biomedical parameters, for early disease detection, is assuming today an ever increasing and fundamental importance. In particular, in the cardiologic field, the preejection period (PEP) is the duration of the iso-volumetric left ventricle contraction until the aortic valve opening. This parameter is a non-constant additive delay, which rapidly changes in response to stress, emotion and physical effort. To estimate this period, several wearable electronics devices have been developed in literature, and among them the Impedance Cardiogram equipment is the most used. However, these systems are often expensive and bulky. In this paper, we propose a cost-effective and easy to employ ECG+PPG combo system able to measure pre-ejection period in a cardiac cycle. The employed system is composed of an ECG acquisition board able to host two PPG probes too.
