Evaluation of Remote Photoplethysmography to Assist Vital Signs Measure in Pediatrics

Introduced in 1930, photoplethysmography techniques presented the possibility of measuring SpO2 and heart rates (HR) using the absorption of light by the blood to define these signals. In recent years, a new approach to photoplethysmography to measure physiological parameters without contact has been developed. This technique, called remote Photoplethysmography Imaging (rPPG), uses the different Red - Green - Blue color spectra at a skin captured by the camera video to determine a plethysmography signal. However, it has never been studied in pediatric patients. The objective is to evaluate the remote photoplethysmography technology to measure vital signs in pediatrics
