This paper describes the development of an application for mobile devices under the iOS platform which has the objective of monitoring patients with alterations or affections from cardiac pathologies. The software tool developed for mobile devices provides a patient and a specialist doctor the ability to handle and treat disease remotely while monitoring through the technique of non-contact photoplethysmography (PPG). The mobile application works by processing red, green, and blue (RGB) color video images on a specific region of the face, thus obtaining the intensity of the pixels in the green channel. The results are then processed using mathematical algorithms and Fourier transform, moving from the time domain to the frequency domain to ensure proper interpretation and to obtain the pulses per minute (PPM). The results are favorable because a comparison of the results was made with respect to the application of a medical-grade pulse-oximeter, where an error rate of 3% was obtained, indicating the acceptable performance of our application. The present technological development provides an application tool with significant potential in the area of health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
