Continuous Patient-Independent Estimation of Respiratory Rate and Blood Pressure Using Robust Spectro-Temporal Features Derived from Photoplethysmogram Only

Abstract:

Objective: A patient-independent approach for continuous estimation of vital signs using robust spectro-temporal features derived from only photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal. Methods: In the pre-processing stage, we remove baseline shifts and artifacts of the PPG signal using Incremental Merge Segmentation with adaptive thresholding. From the cleaned PPG, we extract multiple parameters …
