Abstract

PURPOSE: Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a well-known technique employed to assess optically perfused bio-tissue volume changes. A PPG apparatus consists of a light emitter and a receptor. The analysis of the received light is used to infer properties of the illuminated tissues. This paper aims at presenting a novel distributed mathematical model for PPG signals, which combines a poroelastic model o…
