Photoplethysmography device and method |
摘要 |
A system and method for measuring one or more light-absorption related blood analyte concentration parameters of a mammalian subject, is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises: a) a photoplethysmography (PPG) device configured to effect a PPG measurement by illuminating skin of the subject with at least two distinct wavelengths of light and determining relative absorbance at each of the wavelengths; b) a dynamic light scattering measurement (DLS) device configured to effect a DLS measurement of the subject to rheologically measure a pulse parameter of the subject; and c) electronic circuitry configured to: i) temporally correlating the results of the PPG and DLS measurements; and ii) accordance with the temporal correlation between the PPG and DLS measurements, assessing value(s) of the one or more light-absorption related blood analyte concentration parameter(s). |

1. A method of measuring one or more light-absorption related blood analyte concentration parameters of a mammalian subject, the method comprising:
a) effecting a photoplethysmography (PPG) measurement of the subject by illuminating skin of the subject with at least two distinct wavelengths of light and determining relative absorbance at each of the wavelengths; b) effecting a dynamic light scattering measurement (DLS) of the subject to rheologically measure a pulse parameter of the subject; c) temporally correlating the results of the PPG and DLS measurements; and d) in accordance with the temporal correlation between the PPG and DLS measurements, assessing value(s) of the one or more light-absorption related blood analyte concentration parameter(s),
wherein step (d) includes:
i) computing a parameter descriptive of the temporal correlation between measurements of step (b) and step (c); andii) in accordance with the computed temporal correlation parameter, determining a time-dependent PPG data quality value associated with each PPG measurement; andiii) computing the light-absorption related blood analyte concentration parameter(s) by assigning greater weight to PPG data having a higher data quality value and lesser or no weight to PPG data having a lower data quality value. |
