PhotoPlethysmoGraphy (PPG) is ubiquitously employed in wearable devices for health monitoring. Photodiode signal inversion is observed in rare occasions, most of the time when the sensor is pressed against the skin. We report in this article such observations made at the right common carotid artery site. Indeed we have systematically observed a photodiode signal inversion when the PPG sensor is placed where the pulse is the best felt at the carotid. In addition to be inverted, the pulse is steeper during the systolic phase. Such inversion has implications in terms of pulse arrival time (PAT) measurements In our experiments, this causes a difference of 20 ms in the carotid PAT when measured at the absolute maximum slope. The mechanical and optical properties of tissues must be better accounted to explain the PPG signal morphology. Clinical Relevance- Understanding the role of mechanical tissue properties seems relevant in order to obtain more reproducible results in PPG signal analysis. |
