TrueHeart: Continuous Authentication on Wrist-worn Wearables Using PPG-based Biometrics

We design low-cost user authentication system (TrueHeart) that leverages intrinsic cardiac biometrics extracted with photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to verify user identity. Our system only utilizes readily available PPG sensors on wrist-worn wearable devices and does not require any additional user efforts.


PPG-based Finger-level Gesture Recognition Leveraging Wearables

We also demonstrate that it is feasible to leverage the PPG sensors in wrist-worn wearable devices to enable finger-level gesture recognition, which could facilitate many emerging human-computer interactions (e.g., sign-language interpretation and virtual reality). We introduce the first PPG-based gesture recognition system that can differentiate fine-grained hand gestures at finger level using commodity wearable devices.
