  • Abstract
    A sensitive, digital, wireless sensor probe has been developed for photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements. It uses standard light emitting source and detector. The main advantage of this approach is to measure discharge time of the photodiode as amplitude of PPG signal. It reduces the cost, dimensions, power consumption and filtering of the device. First results of distant monitoring of heart rate using the newly developed sensor probe are presented.
