Abstract: A technology for obtaining a respiratory rate from a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal. In one example, an artificial neural network model can be trained to predict a respiratory rate using a training dataset containing PPG data. The artificial neural network model can include a first series of convolutional layers to remove artifacts from a PPG signal, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) layer to convert the PPG signal to PPG frequency representations, and a dense layer to decode the PPG frequency representations to respiratory rate predictions. After training the artificial neural network model, PPG data generated by a pulse oximeter monitor can be obtained, and the PPG data can be input to the artificial neural network model. The artificial neural network model outputs a respiratory rate prediction, wherein the respiratory rate prediction represents the respiratory rate obtained from the PPG signal.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to methods and systems for adaptive heart rate monitoring. In one scenario, a method for adaptive heart rate monitoring includes receiving, from a pulse-oximeter, a sensor signal, where the sensor signal is photoplethysmogram waveform. The method next includes generating a frequency-domain photoplethysmogram waveform by applying a transform algorithm to the sensor signal, and dividing the resulting frequency-domain photoplethysmogram waveform into discrete frequency regions. The method further includes identifying a fundamental heart rate harmonic within one of the discrete frequency regions by analyzing each discrete frequency region according to a specified analytic algorithm, and triggering a user interface to display a biometric measurement corresponding to the identification of the fundamental heart rate harmonic.
