Home care pulse oximetry
A typical data recorded from pulse oximeter founded on
patient’s finger gives information how well the arterial
blood is oxygenated and pulse rate value.
The parameters of pulse wave, eventual pulse
disturbances etc. are usually not analysed.
Home care pulse oximetry
The study developed a computer analysis of
recorded digital pulse waves by linear
transformation method to enhance
resolution of pulse wave signal (high signal
resolution HSR PW).
Method of linear transformation
The shape of the signal can be described by:

F ( x) 
 K ( x  x ) ( x )dx 

K ( x  x )
 ( x )
- a function describing the shape and width of particular
spectral lines, e.g. Gauss
- a function describing positions and intensities of particular
components of the signal

HSR-PW can determine such parameters like: pulse rate,
oxygen saturation, parameter describing ventricle/aorta
volume ratio, pulsatility index, artery dynamic, index k1/k2
ventricle/aorta correlated with vascular resistance and much
more

Results
The study involved twenty-four patients with hypertension and fifteen
healthy people as a control group. Registration of pulse wave involve a
standard CMS-50E digital pulse oximeter, placed on the left hand index
finger which allows measurement of oxygen saturation. The performed
tests, FMD (flow – mediated dilatation) and NID (nitroglycerin-induced
dilatation), describe temporary changes in the blood vessels.
The wireless OEM Pulse Oximeter model 3150 Nonin also has been
tested with finger sensor and an ear clip sensor to compare results of
HSR-PW from finger and ear pulse wave.
The standard pulse wave has been recorded, transferred by the Internet to
the analytical medical server and the HSR-PW analysis has been
performed. Computation time did not exceed 15 seconds so practically
analysis were done online.

arterial hypertension, b)control group.

Number of pulse wave examinations >8000 per month
It was found about
20% of the records with disruptions caused by the patients mobility or technical errors.
41% of recorded pulse waves were correct and all parameters were located in standard
range and
39% of obtained results were pathological

Conclusions
It was concluded that High Signal Resolution Pulse
Wave (HSR-PW) and TelMedHome is a very good
system to the early detection of low cardiovascular
and the circulatory system abnormalities.
The increased resolution of HSR-PW enables to
observe a discrete pulse wave signal changes and
therefore may increase their clinical utility.
