The purpose of this study was to apply the photoplethsmography(PPG) as a non-invasive tool to evaluate the blood flow of the anterior tooth in clinic. The system consist of two light-emitting diodes(LED) powered by 5V as the light source. The LED was designed to two weve lengths, 940(infrared) and 660(red)nm simultaneously with a 36nm bandwidth at half the peak intensity. The 54 anterior vital tooth were examined and the measured was analysed in frequency domian (power spectrum).(omitted)

Pulse oximetry, which monitors non-invasively the oxygen saturation in blood, is influenced by patient's respiration, movement or a factor of an environment. Specially, it's difficult to measure a PPG (Photoplethsmography) signal from the moving patient because of the motion artifact. Accordingly, it is required to extract the pure PPG signal from the PPG signal to measure oxygen saturation. In this paper, we propose an adaptive noise canceller to improve the performance of motion artifact removal. Then we design a hardware system for real time monitoring of the oxygen saturation. The proposed algorithm estimates the slope of transition rate between two different wavelength signals.

This research is to develop PPG filtering method for respiration measurement in U-Health Care system. Respiration rate was determined by filtering PPG and analyzing its spectrum. Optimal filter of PPG has been selected to get respiration by testing 120 sets of experiment data using 700 filtering cases. As a result, 2nd order Bessel-filter that used band-pass cutoff frequency at 0.175~0.4Hz with second order was good at developing respiration signal. Respiration signal in time domain could be continuously analyzed by converting frequency domain using spectrum analysis. 24 seconds has been found to be optimal time duration of collecting PPG data for determining respiration. Therefore, this study was successful of getting not only heart activity but also respiration by only PPG. Minimal invasive measurement obtaining multi-bio information by one sensor can be expected to apply to U-Health Care and human computer interaction.

본 연구는 언제 어디서나 건강관리를 할 수 있는 u-health care를 위해 cuff를 사용하지 않고 손쉽게 혈압을 측정할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. ECG와 PPG 시그널(signal) 만을 이용하여 혈압을 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 기존 기술은 PTT를 분석 할 때 노이즈나 진폭의 변화로 인해 Peak 추정의 오류가 자주 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 적응적 peak 추정 기술을 개발하여 Peak 추정의 정확도를 향상시켰다. 이를 적용하여 측정데이터를 분석한 결과 PTT의 표준편차는 28%감소하였으며, 노이즈 탐지 성능은 18%증가하였다. 또한 PTT와 혈압간의 상관성에 대해 분석한 결과 수축기 혈압= -0.044 $\cdot$ PTT + 133.592의 상관식을 도출하였다. 도출된 상관식을 적용하여 PPG와 ECG 만으로 수축기 혈압을 연속적으로 측정할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하였다.
