| Abstract: |
Inversion of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal is a rarely reported case. This signal anomaly can have implications for PPG-based cardiovascular assessments. The conditions for PPG signal inversion in the vicinity of the dorsalis pedis (DPA) artery of the foot were investigated. Wireless multi-wavelength PPG sensing with skin-probe contact pressure and local skin temperature were studied at different sensor positions, and the occurrence of inversion (OOI) was investigated. Twelve healthy adult volunteers were studied over four LED wavelengths at three levels of contact pressure for 11 probe positions. A novel algorithm quantified the proportion of inverted samples with respect to the abovementioned variables. Our algorithm classifying inverted vs. non-inverted pulses achieved 98.3% accuracy. Ten of the participants had at least one inverted signal identified. The impact of interindividual variation on inversion prevalence was large, but different LEDs, relative position to the DPA and sensor contact pressure also affected OOI. Skin surface and room temperatures showed no impact on OOI. Lateral measurements showed 39.6% more inversion at maximum compared to minimum contact pressure. Mechanical capillary bed variations and arterial reflections during venous engorgement are considered viable explanations for our observations. These findings motivate an expanded study of the occurrence of PPG signal inversion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
