Three channel photoplethysmography (PPG) signal pulse wave studies of the leg’s conduit arteries during rest conditions were performed. The obtained data of each channel showed similar values, proving arterial PPG as a reliable and repeatable method to assess arterial waveform parameters. A validation experiment was carried out by acquiring signals from three identical IR PPG sensors, which were placed on different sites over the leg’s conduit arteries during rest conditions. Coefficients of variation (CV) were calculated at a 95% confidence interval by comparing results of each subject during multiple attempts. This data processing leads us to certain criteria of improvements in our methodology. Results show that the arterial PPG technique can give trusted and accurate information about the changes in hemodynamics, and therefore, makes it promising for early diagnostics of vascular disease.
