  • Title: Photoplethysmography-Based Heart Rate Monitoring in Physical Activities via Joint Sparse Spectrum Reconstruction.
    Author: Zhang Z.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 2015 Aug; 62(8):1902-10. PubMed ID: 26186747.
    Abstract:
    GOAL: A new method for heart rate monitoring using photoplethysmography (PPG) during physical activities is proposed. METHODS: It jointly estimates the spectra of PPG signals and simultaneous acceleration signals, utilizing the multiple measurement vector model in sparse signal recovery. Due to a common sparsity constraint on spectral coefficients, the method can easily identify and remove the spectral peaks of motion artifact (MA) in the PPG spectra. Thus, it does not need any extra signal processing modular to remove MA as in some other algorithms. Furthermore, seeking spectral peaks associated with heart rate is simplified. RESULTS: Experimental results on 12 PPG datasets sampled at 25 Hz and recorded during subjects' fast running showed that it had high performance. The average absolute estimation error was 1.28 beat/min and the standard deviation was 2.61 beat/min. CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE: These results show that the method has great potential to be used for PPG-based heart rate monitoring in wearable devices for fitness tracking and health monitoring.
