1. Introduction
Finger photoplethismography (PPG) is a commonly
used
technique
in
medicine
[4].
Photoplethysmography is based on the determination
of the optical properties of a selected skin area. For
this purpose non-visible infrared light is emitted into
the skin. More or less light is absorbed, depending on
the blood volume in the skin. Consequently, the
backscattered light corresponds with the variation of
the blood volume. Blood volume changes can then be
determined by measuring the reflected light and using
the optical properties of tissue and blood [8]. Neural
nets emerged from psychology as a learning paradigm,
which mimics how the brain learns. There are many
different types of neural networks, training algorithms,
and different ways to interpret how and why a neural
network operates [6]. Over the past few years, an
explosion of interest in ANN models and their
applications has occurred. ANNs posses a number of
properties which make them articularly suited to
complex classification problems. Unlike traditional
classifiers, ANN models can examine numerous
competing hypotheses simultaneously using massive
interconnections among many simple processing
elements. In addition, ANNs perform extremely well
under noise and distortion [10] [11].

3. Research Methods
3.1 Data Measurements
The PPG sensor is intended for clinical use in
conjunction with any standard PC. Three basic
modules are needed for its operation the sensor head
(fingertip probe with amplifier), standard AD-card and
a standard hard disk. With the signal processing
software and space for storage of the recorded data
[1]. The system consists of two PPG pulse amplifiers,
each with bandwidth of 0.005-15Hz.
The transmission PPG probe of the commercial
pulse Oximetry OEM 601 from Digital Dolphin
consisted of a light emitting diode (LED) of 865 nm

We propose a two stages Networks Based On multilayer perceptron with back-propagation strategy. The
sequence of layers is selected to resemble feature
extraction procedures performed in living systems
[10].
First we segment the data and after we apply a
successive smoothing than we use a simple mean
square error regression based on inverse of covariance
at the end the prediction accuracy are assumed as
features and labeled and used to feed the pattern
recognition stage.

w ji (k ) = (E / w ji (k )) + w ji (k 1)
Where is called the learning coefficient, wji(k-1), is
the weight change in the immediately proceeding
iteration and is the momentum coefficient and
defined as:
(E / w ji (k ))
(E / w ji (k 1)) (E / w ji (k ))
y j = f ( w ji x i )
Where f is activation function that is necessary to
transform the weighted sum of all signals impinging
onto a neuron. In this study, the activation function for
hidden neurons was the conventional sigmoidal
function with the range between zero and one. The
sum of squared differences between the desired and
actual values of the output neurons E is defined as:
E = (1 / 2) * ( y dj y j ) 2

4. Simulation Results
PPG classification is important in determining the
health of an individual. Doctors and Vascular
Scientists are trained to examine a PPG and make a
diagnosis. In some situations though, there is not
always a trained Doctors and Vascular Scientists on
hand. Airports, amusement parks, and shopping malls
are just a few of the places where computers are used
to diagnosis a persons vascular condition if a life
threatening condition occurs. This research attempts
to mimic a Doctors and Vascular Scientists diagnosis
by implementing a neural network diagnosis
algorithm. The scope of this project does not cover all
the possible vascular diseases abnormalities. Instead,
classifies a PPG into two distinct classes, which are
Healthy and Diabetic. Having 14 feature vectors
already extracted from the UKM/MALAYSIANHOSPITALS database, the next step was to develop a
neural network to classify each of the samples. The
network tested was a multilayer perceptron network
with back propagation and Gaussian Mixture Model
neural network.
Netlab toolbox was chosen to be the platform in this
work. It is convenient for training and testing MLP,
GMM and also provides many configuration choices
for achieving better classification accuracy.
Success with MLP and GMM algorithms were
achieved after appropriate scaling of data, and
selection of the number of hidden layers.
The constants used to determine the optimal MLP.
Which were determined by several preliminary runs
and then used for all successive MLP models That
Used to Test the Data.
