A METHOD AND SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY MOTION ARTIFACTS AND IMPROVE RELIABILITY OF MEASUREMENTS AND ALARMS IN PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS

摘要

A system (10) and method to identify motion artifacts. Measurements of a physiological parameter of an associated patient are received from a probe (12)positioned on or proximate to the associated patient. Further, measurements of acceleration are received from an accelerometer (26) positioned on, proximate to, or integrated with the probe (12). Measurements of the physiological parameter are labeled based on the measured acceleration, such as being with or without motion.
