Book excerpt: Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive optical technique widely used in the study and monitoring of the pulsations associated with changes in blood volume in a peripheral vascular bed. Over the last thirty years, there has been a significant increase in the number of published articles on PPG, describing both basic and applied research. Throughout these publications the PPG has been hailed as a non-invasive, low cost, and simple optical measurement technique applied at the surface of the skin to measure a whole host of physiological parameters.
