Sensor-skin contact pressure as a hidden confounder in wearable photoplethysmography biosensing
Nature ·
The Brief
- A research article listed in the nature.com medical research feed examines sensor-skin contact pressure in wearable photoplethysmography.
- The title describes contact pressure as a hidden confounder in wearable photoplethysmography biosensing.
- The source provides no summary, so the study's methods and quantitative findings are not available.
Why it matters
If sensor-skin contact pressure confounds photoplethysmography signals, readings from wearable devices may be affected by factors other than the physiological quantity being measured.
Who’s affected
- researchers in wearable biosensing
