Table 1.

The 110 features extracted from PPG, VPG (first derivative or velocity of PPG), APG (second derivative or acceleration of PPG), and PRV (pulse rate variability).

PPG Interval 1: T (time span of the pulse) 6: PPT (interval between the systolic [S] and diastolic peaks [D])
2: T1 (rising time of the pulse) 7: T1/T
3: T2 (systolic time of the pulse) 8: T2/T (the same as T3/T)
4: T3 (diastolic time of the pulse) 9: PW/T
5: PW (pulse width corresponding to the midpoint of the rising phase) 10: PPT/T
Area 11: A1 (area of systolic phase) 14: IPA: A2/A1 (diastolic area/systolic area)
12: A2 (area of diastolic phase) 15: A1/A
13: A (A1 + A2, area of the pulse)
Height 16: H1 (height of the systolic peak) 19: H2/H1
17: H2 (height of the dicrotic wave) 20: RI: H3/H1
18: H3 (height of the diastolic peak)
Slope 21: RS (H1/T1) 22: FS (H1/(T–T1))
23–44: Std of 1–22. 45–66: Rmssd of 1–22.
Other features 67: TWa: area of tidal wave (TW) 69: TWvt: product of TWv and TWt
68: TWP: power of TW 70: TWst: stress index
71–74: Std of 67–70. 75–78: Rmssd of 67–70.
79: TPcar: total power of cardiac component 80: TPres: total power of respiratory component
VPG and APG Height 81: Hw (height of w point in VPG) 85: He (height of e point in APG)
82: Hz (height of z point in VPG) 86: Hb/Ha
83: Ha (height of a point in APG) 87: He/Ha
84: Hb (height of b point in APG) 88: (Hb–He)/Ha

PRV 105: LF (low frequency power of PRV) 108: nLF (LF/(LF+HF))
106: HF (high frequency power of PRV) 109: LF/HF
107: TP (total power of PRV) 110: SampEn: sample entropy of pulse rate
