Pulse transit time

This research has investigated the possibility of using two photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to measure blood oxygen saturation and through this monitor a patient’s pulse at two sites; the ear and the finger. Using these two simultaneous and continuous measurements the ultimate aim is develop a method of monitoring blood pressure.

Blood pressure (BP) is an important and commonly used vital sign to monitor a patient’s health. Current methods for monitor blood pressure are unsuitable for continuous, uninterrupted measurement of blood pressure outside of a hospital setting as such methods are invasive and could pose risks if complications occur. This research has investigated the possibility of using two photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to monitor a patient’s pulse at two sites; the ear and the finger.
