This study introduces a transformer neural network to analyze dynamic spectrum data from photoplethysmography (PPG) for non-invasive blood component monitoring. The model significantly improves accuracy for predicting red blood cells, urea, and glucose levels by addressing nonlinearities in spectral data.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Spectroscopy and Photonic Sensing

Background:

  • Photoplethysmography (PPG) derived dynamic spectrum (DS) offers non-invasive blood component analysis potential.
  • Nonlinearity from blood component scattering currently limits prediction accuracy in DS-based methods.
  • "M + N" theory suggests incorporating nonlinear factors can enhance calibration models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a nonlinear modeling approach for DS data to improve blood component concentration prediction.
  • To leverage transformer-based neural networks for fitting complex nonlinear relationships in spectral data.
  • To evaluate the performance of transformer models against baseline deep learning models for non-invasive blood analysis.

  • Extraction of arterial blood absorbance at various wavelengths to generate dynamic spectrum (DS) data.
  • Application of transformer-based neural networks to model the nonlinear relationship between DS and blood component concentrations.
  • Comparative analysis against Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models using data from 1400 participants.

Main Results:

  • Transformer modeling significantly improved prediction accuracy (R2, MAE, MSE) for red blood cells (RBC), urea, and glucose compared to CNN and LSTM.
  • The transformer model effectively captured nonlinear mappings within the spectral data, demonstrating its capability for complex data analysis.
  • Consistent performance improvements across multiple blood components validate the model's effectiveness in non-invasive spectral analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Transformer-based neural networks show significant potential for enhancing the accuracy of non-invasive dynamic spectrum (DS)-based blood component analysis.
  • The model's ability to account for both nonlinear and general factors in DS data improves the mapping of component concentration to spectral features.
  • Further clinical validation is necessary to establish the widespread applicability of this advanced modeling technique.
