| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The photoplethysmogram (PPG) is the signal widely used for heart rates and oxygen saturation calculations. It has the potential for other applications, but the presence of the noise in PPG data limits the applicability of advanced analysis methods to it. Therefore, the noise reduction method which would reduce the noise and unlike conventional methods preserve complex dynamics of the PPG is necessary. Understanding of the PPG dynamics is the key- factor for the development of such a method.
During the research period, the large number of the PPG datasets were collected in reference conditions and under the influence of external factors. These data were analyzed by the methods of nonlinear dynamics. It was discovered that the investigated signal has chaotic dynamics and its essential dynamical element was found (saddle point). PPG dynamical characteristics were investigated in terms of filtration effects. The method of prediction relying on noise contamination information was proposed.
