Abstract :
We present a novel PPG optical sensor and device with ambient optical, electrical and electromagnetic noises cancellation, thus allowing only the useful optical signals to be received by health monitoring device. Sensor and methodology has been integrated into a prototype standalone device for noninvasive, continuous, wearable, remote and mobile monitoring of blood pressure and other human vital signs, such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiration rate, etc. This small device allows the user to read, store, process and transmit all the measurements to a remote location.
