Investigating teager operator in pulse decomposition analysis

Single finger sensor can be used to get the blood pressure and the heart rate by decomposing the heart pulse into its basic components. Pulse pressure appears to be a sensitive, as well as a specific marker for the detection of hemorrhage; one of the leading causes of death in trauma cases. The proposed approach is to decompose the arterial pulse into its basic components by applying the Teager operator instead of using many equipment and cables. All the components of the decomposed pulse are then measured by applying autocorrelation function algorithm. The results of the proposed approach were very encouraging, compared to other classical procedures of pulse decomposition[1].
