Mobile phones can be used as a platform for clinical decision making in resource-poor and remote areas. Their limited battery and computational resources, however, demand ef?cient and low-power algorithms. We present a new algorithm for the fast and economical estimation of heart rate (HR) from the photoplethysmogram (PPG) recorded with a pulse oximeter connected to a mobile phone. The new method estimates the HR frequency by adaptively modeling the PPG wave with a sine function using a modi?ed phase vocoder. The obtained wave is also used as an envelope for the detection of peaks in the PPG signal. HR is computed using the vocoder center frequency and using the peak intervals in a histogram. Experiments on a mobile device show comparable speed performance with other time domain algorithms. Preliminary tests show that the HR computed from the vocoder center frequency is robust to noisy PPG. The instantaneous HR calculated with the vocoder peak detection method was more sensitive to short-term HR variations. These results point to further developments using a combination of both HR estimation methods that will enable the robust implementation of adaptive phase vocoders into mobile phone applications.
