Photoplethysmograph
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A photoplethysmograph is a device used to optically obtain a volumetric measurement of an organ. The trace generated by the device is called photoplethysmogram.
Applications [edit]
The most established use of photoplethysmography can be found in pulse oximeters.
Further use of photoplethysmographic measurements for cardiovasculary monitoring, respiration detection and pulse wave analysis has been studied.[1][2][3]
