description

Time resolved detection and analysis of the skin back-scattered optical signals (reflection photoplethysmography or contact PPG) provide rich information on skin blood volume pulsations and can serve for cardiovascular assessment. The widely used contact PPG technique has many limitations, like high sensitivity to sensor movement etc. The newly developed non-contact PPG technique has been developed in this work. Potential of the new technique for express-assessment of human cardio-vascular condition has been demonstrated.
