A Hybrid Photoplethysmography (PPG) Sensor System Design for Heart Rate Monitoring

A photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor is a cost-effective and efficacious way of measuring health conditions such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiration rate. In this work, we present a hybrid PPG sensor system working in a reflective mode with an optoelectronic module, i.e., the combinatio...

description A photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor is a cost-effective and efficacious way of measuring health conditions such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiration rate. In this work, we present a hybrid PPG sensor system working in a reflective mode with an optoelectronic module, i.e., the combination of an inorganic light-emitting diode (LED) and a circular-shaped organic photodetector (OPD) surrounding the LED for efficient light harvest followed by the proper driving circuit for accurate PPG signal acquisition. The performance of the hybrid sensor system was confirmed by the heart rate detection process from the PPG using fast Fourier transform analysis. The PPG signal obtained with a 50% LED duty cycle and 250 Hz sampling rate resulted in accurate heart rate monitoring with an acceptable range of error. The effects of the LED duty cycle and the LED luminous intensity were found to be crucial to the heart rate accuracy and to the power consumption, i.e., indispensable factors for the hybrid sensor.
