This research introduces an energy-efficient machine learning technique designed for on-device assessment of photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal quality. The study conducts a comprehensive exploration of PPG signal morphology with the goal of pinpointing precise and lightweight features that can ensure dependable PPG readings. Through their semi-supervised learning approach, which relies on robust similarity measures, the research effectively distinguishes trustworthy PPG signals. Rigorous testing on embedded devices corroborates the effectiveness of this approach, revealing a remarkable balance between accuracy, energy efficiency, and latency when compared to contemporary methodologies. These findings hold significant promise in bolstering the reliability of wearable devices.
