Abstract

See full text

A ring plethysmograph having a pressure adjustment for locally pressurizing one side of a finger thereby biasing the pressure on an artery wall so that the plethysmograph is optimally sensitive without interfering with blood flow. An auxiliary photodetector, possibly with a second light source, is disposed on the low-pressure side of the finger for two purposes: providing a noise reference for canceling noise on the plethysmograph signal, and also for providing a separate motion signal for monitoring the activity level of a patient.
