BVP (Blood Volume Pulse)

Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) is a measurement of the changes in blood volume within the blood vessels, typically captured using sensors like pulse oximeters or wearable devices. It reflects the heartbeat's rhythm and strength, providing insights into cardiovascular health and autonomic nervous system activity. BVP waveforms are related to the pulse you feel in your wrist or neck, with peaks indicating blood flow during each heartbeat. Monitoring BVP can help assess heart rate, blood circulation, and overall physiological responses, making it a useful non-invasive tool in both clinical and wellness settings.
