contents <p>This project presents an innovative approach to extracting <strong>Photoplethysmogram (PPG)</strong> signals using a standard smartphone camera. The methodology relies on placing the finger over the camera while utilizing a red light source to detect changes in light absorption caused by blood flow variations (pulsatile volume). By analyzing these micro-changes in the video frames, the system captures the PPG waveform, which serves as a foundation for non-invasive health monitoring.</p> <p>The research highlights the potential of using this captured signal to predict critical health indicators beyond heart rate, such as <strong>Blood Glucose levels</strong>, <strong>Blood Pressure</strong>, and early signs of <strong>Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)</strong>. This is achieved by analyzing vascular elasticity and flow patterns; for instance, identifying the lack of vessel flexibility in diabetic patients.
