2. PULSEOXIMETRY
The noninvasive measurement of arterial oxygen saturation
(SpO2) by pulse oximetry has become a standard of care. In
addition to oxygen saturation values, many pulse oximeters
display a photoelectric plethysmographic waveform, which
reflects a combination of volume and flow changes in skin
microcirculation.
Plethysmographic wave displayed is highly processed and
filtered signal (Inverted, autocentered, autogained, and
after a bandpass filtering.

4. Digital Pulse Analysis (DPA) is the next evolution in pulse
wave velocity (PWV), and is based on the measurement
of reflected infrared light (IR).
At a frequency of 805 nm, both oxygenated and deoxygenated
blood have the same absorption, thereby ensuring accuracy
based on blood flow alone.
In fact only IR signal at 940 nm is presented in the PPGs because
It is much more stable in time if compared with the Red signal at
660 nm that is more susceptible of changes in oxygen saturation.
PI (perfussion index) = (AC pulsating IR signal/ AD non-pulsating IR signal ) x 100 %
AC= Alternate curve component
DC= Direct curve component (venous
movement = right atrial contraction
+ ventilation )Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer-Roca, 2015
8. HRV = Heart rate variability
valuable indicator of phrophylactic cardiovascular interventions
SD1= Short term beat-to-beat variability
SD2= Long term beat-to-beat variability
x= HHI or RRI sequences
Var= variance of sequences
SDNN= SD of HHI or RRI

9. Healthy CV patients have a well defined “dicrotic wave” in the
diastolic phase at D, whereas 98% of overt arteriosclerotic
patients had significant decrease or disappearance of the wave
Elements of PTG (Systolic Phase)
1. S (Starting Point)
Starting point of systolic phase of arterial pulse-wave. Aortic valve
opens and the blood of the LV is ejected into aorta.
2. P (PercussionWave)
Wave caused from LV ejection that increases the blood volume
within artery.
Higher point means stronger LV ejection and higher compliance of
larger artery.
3.T (TidalWave)
Reflected wave from the small artery. Higher point means
contraction and stiffness of small artery.
4. C (Incisura)
End-point of systolic phase, then aortic valve is closed.
Less drop from pulse height (PH) means larger resistance (arterial
contraction & tension).

Four parameters were calculated from time domain RRI and HHI recordings [20] the mean interpulse interval (mean NN), the standard deviation of the interpulse intervals (SDNN), the square root of the mean squared differences of successive interpulse intervals (RMSSD) and the proportion of differences of successive interpulse interval exceeding 50 ms, known as pNN50; this was derived by the number of interpulse interval exceeding 50 ms dividing by the total number of interpulse intervals.

The Poincaré plot is one of the most widely used techniques for nonlinear HRV analysis, it is a plot of each RR interval against the previous one. From a Poincaré plot, two non-linear parameters SD1 and SD2 can be calculated [21]:

Signal was filtered by second-order reverse phase Butterworth filter in frequency range 0.2-8 Hz. Heart intervals were calculated as a distance between two feet of consecutive PPG waveforms. The feet of the PPG waveforms were estimated in the following way:

I started this project a while ago, but then my school began to pick up and I needed to take a break. I have designed the hardware and have the basic concepts down but it still needs to be programmed. I may be taking a different approach to the programming aspect of it in terms of how it will actually determine the amount of glucose.
The current system consists of a few components, an InGaAs photodiode, 8 LEDs(2 x Green, 2 x NIR @ 1550nm, 1 IR @ 960nm, 1 Red) an Atmega328p, and the circuits required to run those. Also it contains a small LiPo in order to be able to test, or take training data. Right now it is held together with an elastic band which helps it clip onto an ear. It is two separate circuit boards and the ADC is channeled through an MCP3421 and then i2c goes across a connector at the bottom which also supplies the regulated 3.3V to the arduino.
The case was printed at Shapeways.
