Abstract

Recently, u-healthcare device is developed and commercialized for healthcare management and emergency medical. The kinds of the measurable biomedical signals on the device are electrocardiogram, skin temperature, pulse oxygen, heart rate, respiration, etc. Specially, the photoplethysmograph(PPG) signal of these signals is the important signal in measuring oxygen, heart rate and peripheral vascular compliance. The accuracy of PPG signal reduce from influence of the motion artifacts that generated from the movements of user or patient. Therefore, this study suggests a new method to remove the motion artifact that is using optical power modulation and ICA(Independent Component Analysis). For analyzing the proposed method, we used variety of noises made by artificially. In the results of experiments, the proposed method showed good performances than an adaptive filter.

최근 IT+BT 융합 기술로 건강관리 및 응급의료 등을 위하여 U-헬스케어 단말 장치가 개발되고 상품화가 되고 있다. 이 단말기에서 측정하는 생체 신호들은 심전도, 체온, 산소포화도, 심박수, 호흡 등이며, 특히 이들 신호 중에 광용적맥파(PPG) 신호는 산소포화도와 심박수, 말초혈관 탄성도 등을 측정함에 있어 매우 중요한 신호이다. 그러나 이 PPG 신호는 환자 또는 사용자의 움직임에 따라 발생하는 동잡음의 영향에 의해 그 정밀도가 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 동잡음을 제거하기 위한 광변조 기법과 ICA 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 분석하기 위해 다양한 잡음을 인위적으로 가하여 실험하였으며, 실험 결과를 분석한 결과에서 제안된 기법이 기존의 적응 필터법 보다 우수한 성능을 보였다.
