Photoplethysmograph
A photoplethysmograph is a device used to optically obtain a volumetric measurement of an organ. The trace generated by the device is called photoplethysmogram.
Applications
The most established use of photoplethysmography can be found in pulse oximeters.
Further use of photoplethysmographic measurements for cardiovasculary monitoring, respiration detection and pulse wave analysis has been studied.[1][2][3]
