PPG
An optical heart-rate monitoring technology that uses LED light sources to illuminate the skin and detects changes in blood absorption of specific wavelengths to extract pulse waveforms. It is widely used for continuous heart-rate monitoring in wearable devices.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The principle of PPG signal acquisition is that a light-emitting diode emits light of a specific wavelength into skin tissue, a photoelectric sensor receives changes in light intensity after absorption or reflection by the tissue, and hemoglobin's absorption of light fluctuates periodically with vascular volume.
Non-contact mattress sensors are more susceptible to external interference—such as a bed partner turning over or a pet getting on the bed—compared to smartwatch-based photoplethysmography (PPG) solutions.
The technical barrier for health monitoring rings lies in integrating PPG sensors, accelerometers, and wireless charging modules within an extremely small form factor while ensuring all-day wearing comfort.
Apple Watch continuously records heart rate through a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, and the HealthKit interface allows third-party apps to read this time-series data.
The principles behind PPG technology can be traced back to the 1930s.
Apple Watch uses a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor to monitor heart rate, illuminating the subcutaneous capillaries of the wrist with green LED light and calculating real-time heart rate by leveraging hemoglobin's absorption characteristics of green light.
Apple Watch is equipped with two cardiac monitoring systems: a PPG photoplethysmography sensor on the back of the watch and an electrode-based ECG sensor on the crown.
Photoplethysmography (PPG) infers heart rate by shining an LED light source on the skin and detecting changes in reflected light caused by blood flow, and may experience reduced accuracy during intense exercise due to motion and perspiration.
