New theory grounds cardiac health monitoring in smartphone photoplethysmography

Researchers have developed Cardiac Stability Theory (CST), a new framework that defines cardiovascular health based on stability margins around a cardiac dynamical attractor. This theory leads to the Cardiac Stability Index (CSI), a metric derived from factors like Lyapunov exponents and signal entropy. The framework has been adapted for use with smartphone photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, enabling continuous, non-invasive cardiac monitoring for health tracking and risk stratification. AI
