Innovative measurement of routine physiological variables (heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation) using a remote photoplethysmography imaging system: a prospective comparative trial protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Physiological signals are essential for assessing human health. The absence of a medical device to carry out these measurements remotely is one of the main limitations of telemedicine. Remote photoplethysmography imaging (rPPG) makes it possible to use a camera video to measure some of the most valuable physiological variables: heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (SpO₂). Our objective was to evaluate the value of such remote measurements compared with existing contact point measurements techniques in real-life clinical settings.

Methods and analysis

Prospective hospital-based study that will recruit 1045 patients who require a pulmonary function test. For each patient, measurements of HR, RR and SpO₂, using a standa
