Abstract

A device may determine end-of-phase information for a plurality of wavelength channels of photoplethysmography (PPG) data. The device may calculate a set of baseline correction points for each wavelength channel of the plurality of wavelength channels. The set of baseline correction points may be calculated based on end-of-phase information for a wavelength channel of the plurality of wavelength channels and PPG data associated with the wavelength channel. The device may perform a baseline correction for each wavelength channel of the plurality of wavelength channels. A baseline correction may be performed for the wavelength channel based on the set of baseline correction points associated with the wavelength channel and the PPG data associated with the wavelength channel. The device may generate a baseline corrected heartbeat profile using a principal component analysis of a result of baseline correcting each wavelength channel of the plurality of wavelength channels.

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

identifying, by a multispectral sensor device, photoplethysmography data for a plurality of wavelength channels;

transmitting, by the multispectral sensor device and to a different device, photoplethysmography data; and

receiving, by the multispectral sensor device, one or more of:

a baseline corrected heartbeat profile that is based on a baseline correction performed for a wavelength channel, of the plurality of wavelength channels, using a set of baseline correction points associated with the wavelength channel, or

information associated with the baseline corrected heartbeat profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the photoplethysmography data includes photometric response data.
