This is excellent!! Really. PPG Analysis - Introduction Using Matlab provides a unique and relatively comprehensive introduction to photoplethysmogram in the context of digital health. This is a fun, hands-on introduction to the important emerging field of PPG. This book will help inspire a new generation to join us in finding out how to use PPG for multiple digital health applications. - Maxime Cannesson, Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology, UCLA, USA A wonderful comprehensive hands-on reference for students and researchers doing practical PPG signal analysis. Although the code examples are in MATLAB, the book content is useful for researchers working with any math package. Richard Ribon Fletcher, Mobile Technology Group, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA It is a very informative book that is truly needed in the field. It was clearly taught from an engineering perspective. By reading this book the student is given a very real opportunity to make significant discoveries. This book would work well as a supplementary source for an introductory course in computational analysis of PPG signals for undergraduate and postgraduate students. - Kirk Shelley, Professor Emeritus of Anesthesiology, Yale University, USA I enjoyed reading this book - it encompasses the fascinating field of photoplethysmography and modern analysis techniques using clear Matlab focussed examples. It is a great contribution to the field. I think this book should be given a privileged spot on the bookshelf of every student and researcher in the cardiovascular, vascular optics and digital health sciences. -- Dr John Allen, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
