• Abstract summary: We develop an algorithm for denoising PPG signals that reconstructs the corrupted parts of the signal, while preserving the clean parts of the PPG signal. Our novel framework relies on self-supervised training, where we leverage a large database of clean PPG signals to train a denoising autoencoder.

• Abstract: Smart watches and other wearable devices are equipped with photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors for monitoring heart rate and other aspects of cardiovascular health. However, PPG signals collected from such devices are susceptible to corruption from noise and motion artifacts, which cause errors in heart rate estimation. Typical denoising approaches filter or reconstruct the signal in ways that eliminate much of the morphological information, even from the clean parts of the signal that would be useful to preserve. In this work, we develop an algorithm for denoising PPG signals that reconstructs the corrupted parts of the signal, while preserving the clean parts of the PPG signal. Our novel framework relies on self-supervised training, where we leverage a large database of clean PPG signals to train a denoising autoencoder. As we show, our reconstructed signals provide better estimates of heart rate from PPG signals than the leading heart rate estimation methods. Further experiments show significant improvement in Heart Rate Variability (HRV) estimation from PPG signals using our algorithm. We conclude that our algorithm denoises PPG signals in a way that can improve downstream analysis of many different health metrics from wearable devices.

  Our facial skin presents subtle color change known as remote Photoplethys (r) signal, from which we could extract the heart rate of the subject. Recently many deep learning methods and related datasets on r signal extraction are proposed. However, because of the time consumption blood flowing through our body and other factors, label waves such as BVP signals have uncertain delays with real r signals in some datasets. In this paper, by analyzing the common characteristics on rhythm and periodicity of r signals and label waves, we propose a whole set of training methodology which wraps these networks so that they could remain efficient when be trained at
