A novel multi-wavelength procedure for blood pressure estimation using opto-physiological sensor at peripheral arteries and capillaries
2018
© 2018 SPIE. In this study, the Carelight multi-wavelength opto-electronic patch sensor (OEPS) was adopted to assess the effectiveness of a new approach for estimating the systolic blood pressure (SBP) through the changes in the morphology of the OEPS signal. Specifically, the SBP was estimated by changing the pressure exerted on an inflatable cuff placed around the left upper arm. Pressure acquisitions were performed both with gold standard (i.e. electronic sphygmomanometer), and Carelight sensor (experimental procedure), on subjects from a multiethnic cohort (aged 28 ± 7). The OEPS sensor was applied together with a manual inflatable cuff, going slightly above the level of the SBP with in…
Attālinātas fotopletizmogrāfijas metode femorāla nerva blokādes monitorēšanai

Cardiovascular parameters detection using a Photoplethismographic system
2016
We propose an innovative, cost-effective and easy to employ photoplethysmographic (PPG) system using Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) sensors to measure cardiovascular parameters that can potentially represent markers for arterial stiffness
Photoplethysmograhic sensors, potential and limitations: Is it time for regulation? A comprehensive review
2023
Healthcare is expected to increasingly shift care out of inpatient settings thanks to wearable monitoring systems. Photoplethysmography (PPG) is an optical technique already integrated into wrist-worn commercial products which presents significant advantages in terms of cost and dimensions. PPG-based devices, despite their ability to detect multiple cardiovascular parameters, are affected by several influencing conditions that depend both on technological or environmental variables, and on intra- and inter-subject variability that influences the whole measurement chain and reliability, hindering an objective characterization of PPG devices. Plus, the lack of standardization for data collect…

Andreklassingers arbeid med problemløsningsoppgaver : Et semiotisk perspektiv
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This master thesis presentsaqualitative case study whichexplore year 2 students work with problem solving tasks, in a semiotic perspective. In the study, three small groups were observed while working with problem solving tasks. The aim of the observations where to getaninsight into which semiotic resources the students used while working onthe problem solving tasks. Video recordings from the observations make up the empirical data material of this study. This study is placed in the socio-cultural learning perspective. The aim of this study is to explore which semiotic resources the students use while working onproblem sol…
Wearable Multisensor Ring-Shaped Probe for Assessing Stress and Blood Oxygenation: Design and Preliminary Measurements
2023
The increasing interest in innovative solutions for health and physiological monitoring has recently fostered the development of smaller biomedical devices. These devices are capable of recording an increasingly large number of biosignals simultaneously, while maximizing the user’s comfort. In this study, we have designed and realized a novel wearable multisensor ring-shaped probe that enables synchronous, real-time acquisition of photoplethysmographic (PPG) and galvanic skin response (GSR) signals. The device integrates both the PPG and GSR sensors onto a single probe that can be easily placed on the finger, thereby minimizing the device footprint and overall size. The system enables the e…
PPG/ECG Multisite Combo System Based on SiPM Technology
2019
Two versions of a PPG/ECG combined system have been realized and tested. In a first version a multisite system has been equipped by integrating 3 PPG optodes and 3 ECG leads, whereas in another setup a portable version has been carried out. Both versions have been realized by equipping the optical probes with SiPM detectors. SiPM technology is expected to bring relevant advantages in PPG systems and overcome the limitations of physiological information extracted by state of the art PPG, such as poor sensitivity of detectors used for backscattered light detection and motion artifacts seriously affecting the measurements repeatability and pulse waveform stability. This contribution presents t…
Nouvelle approche pour l'estimation du rythme respiratoire basée sur la photopléthysmographie sans contact
2021
Respiratory rhythm is important information in medical context.Its assessment allows to predict some medical complications that could lead to death.However, it is often neglected by the medical staff due to a bad comprehension of its importance, or a lack of time.Automated measurement methods allow to improve this by continuously giving respiratory rate.Most of these methods needs a contact with the patient to efficiently measure the breathing rate.Unfortunately it leads to some issues which could forbid measurement or make it unconfortable for continuous monitoring.The continuous, every-day monitoring especially needs to be as discrete as possible to be forgotten by the patient.To deal wit…
PPGIS applied to environmental communication and hazards for a community-based approach: a dualism in the Southern Italy "calanchi" landscape
2021
<abstract> <p>The need of protection of the territory is a priority for the society, which is an integral part of it (unfortunately, this coincidence is often forgotten): the new environmental issues require the development of innovative management strategies and of appropriate knowledge and models. The balanced use of resources, essential for the survival and well-being of society, can be optimised through the promotion of the territory. The identification and the sustainable development of local resources can only be achieved by directing development policies towards a path of integration between ecological needs, protection of the landscape and socio-economic and cultural nee…
