Abstract
Electrocardiography and Photoplethysmography are basic investigative methods used in healthcare. As the ECG and the PPG are non-invasive methods. The principle consists in ECG recording of electrical activity of the heart and the result of this sensing is a graph plotting—electrocardiogram. PPG is one of the main methods of measurement plethysmography when the result is a graphic record of pulse wave. The main function of PPG is the volumetric flow measurement of blood (e.g. in atherosclerosis, which is possible by vascular permeability derive their rigidity). Both of these methods are used for monitoring of cardiovascular system. It would be advantageous to have possibility to measure ECG and PPG from one place on human body. It would be also advantageous to have only one device and reduce number or size of sensors or electrodes. In this paper we describe developing such system and also investigation the ideal place for placing of sensors for satisfactory measurement.
