Expanding Research Potential
The following clinical applications are all connected to the photoplethysmogram [Allen 2007]
Clinical Physiological Monitoring
- SPO2
- Depth of anesthesia [Huiku 2007 and GEHC 2012]
- Heart Rate
- Blood Pressure using Pulse Transit Time ie ECG to PPG [Kachuee 2017]
- Cardiac Output
- Respiration
Vascular Assessment
- Arterial Disease
- Arterial Compliance and Ageing
- Endothelial Function
- Venous Assessment
- Vasospastic conditions e.g. Reynaud’s phenomenon
- Microvascular blood flow and tissue viability
Autonomic Function
- Vasomotor function and thermoregulation
- Blood Pressure and heart rate
- Othostasis
- Neurology
- Other cardiovascular variability assessments
