🧪 Medical Technology Health Monitoring Simulation

Interactive photoplethysmography (PPG) simulator: watch a wrist-worn optical sensor's red/IR light absorption change with every heartbeat, and see how the AC/DC ratio of that signal is turned into a live heart-rate and blood-oxygen (SpO2) reading, complete with motion-artifact noise and a signal-quality index.

This simulation demonstrates the use of medical technology for continuous patient health monitoring: a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor on the wrist, the same optical principle used by wearable fitness bands and clinical pulse oximeters. Red and infrared LEDs shine through the skin and a photodiode measures how much light returns; because arterial blood volume swells with every heartbeat, that returning light oscillates in sync with the pulse. Set the patient's true heart rate, blood-oxygen saturation, motion artifact and ambient light noise, and watch the sensor's raw red/IR waveform, then see the monitor independently re-derive a live heart-rate and SpO2 reading from that noisy optical signal, along with a signal-quality index that reflects how much you can trust it.
