Abstract
A system may include a photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor configured to be secured to a patient and to generate a PPG signal for the patient. The system may also include a motion sensor configured to generate a motion signal indicative of motion of the patient. Further, the system may include a controller configured to receive the PPG signal from the PPG sensor and the motion signal from the motion sensor, to analyze the motion signal to detect motion of the patient, and to deactivate the at least one emitter of the PPG sensor based on the analysis of the motion signal when motion of the patient is detected.
