Abstract

Smartwatches for fitness tracking are more and more popular, cheap and precise in Heart Rate measurement. In this device, the measure of the cardiac rhythm is based on the usage of such optical sensors sensitive to the capillary blood flow. About the heart rate assessment, the mentioned optical method is a robust replacement of the classic Electrocardiography sampled in wearable devices, as it is more immune to motion artifacts. We proposed an innovative Wearable Optical Silicon Sensor for making robust PPG Measurements. The experimental results showed in this contribution, confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed Wearable Optical devices.
