Clinical measurements with multi-spectral photoplethysmography sensors

A portable multi-spectral photoplethysmography device has been used for studies of 40 subjects. Multi-spectral monitoring was performed by means of a four - wavelengths (465 nm, 530 nm, 630 nm and 870 nm) light emitted diodes (LED) and a single photodiode with multi-channel signal output processing. The proposed methodology and potential clinical applications are discussed.
