Table 2.

Summary of features extracted from each PPG cycle.

Feature Description
DC value Average value of the low-passed PPG signal
Peak value Amplitude of the systolic peak [12]
Delta AC Difference between the peak value and the trough on the left
Rise slope Slope of the line between the trough on the left of the peak to the peak value
Rise time Time difference between the trough on the left of the peak and the peak value
Fall level Difference between the values of the peak and the trough on the right
Fall slope Slope of the line between the trough on the right of the peak and the peak value
Fall time Time between the trough on the right of the peak and the peak value
Width at 1/4 height Value at 1/4 of the height of Delta AC
Width at 3/4 height Value at 3/4 of the height of Delta AC
Base width Difference between the trough on the right of the peak and the trough on its left
Area Area enclosed between the two troughs
Optical density OD=log(1+deltaACDC) [17]
TKEO mean Mean, variance, standard
TKEO variance deviation, skewness and
TKEO std kurtosis of the TKEO calculated
TKEO skewness from each cycle using:
TKEO kurtosis x[n]=x2[n]x[n+1]x[n1]
