Potential benefits and risks of the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare domain have already been analyzed. Nevertheless, the role that IoT has played to date regarding the assessment or management ...

Several efforts have been made to develop algorithms for accurate peak detection in photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals. Most of those algorithms have been specifically conceived to perform under high motion artifact and ...

Low-amplitude PPG signals are more affected by noise contamination and other undesirable effects because the signal strength is comparable to noise power. Although several authors claim that decreases in the amplitude of ...

Automatic and remote monitoring of patients with pain may decrease treatment costs and improve the quality of care. In this sense, the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a suitable candidate for developing solutions ...

Background: One of the biggest obstacles to reliable pulse rate variability (PRV) analysis is the erroneous detection of photoplethysmographic (PPG) pulses. Among all the disturbances that may hinder pulse detection, the ...

Based on the fact that pain modulates the contour of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal, several authors have used PPG-derived parameters, like the amplitude of the PPG signal (PPGA) and the variations of the inter-pulse ...
