Increasing the Accuracy of Blood Hematocrit Measurement by Triplicate Wavelength Photoplethysmography Method

Abstract

Email: m_azarnoosh@mshdiau .ac.ir Abstract Background and objectives: The importance of continuous monitoring and rapid and accurate informing of changes in blood components (e.g., percentage of hematocrit [HCT]), especially in acute conditions, has motivated researchers to use non-invasive measurement methods. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between blood HCT and photoplethysmographic signal and the possibility of increasing the accuracy of its measurement by optical method at three specific wavelengths.
