FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: device comprises a detection unit for receiving light in at least one wavelength interval reflected from at least a region of interest of a living being and for generating an input signal from the received light, processing unit for processing the input signal and deriving vital sign information of said living being from said input signal by use of remote photoplethysmography, illumination unit for illuminating at least said region of interest during illumination intervals with light, wherein said light during said illumination intervals is dominant over the ambient light in a least the wavelength range in which the detection unit receives light and is thus optimized for deriving vital sign information from an input signal generated by use of remote photoplethysmography from received light reflected from said region of interest.
EFFECT: group of inventions relates to a device and method for obtaining vital sign information of a living being.
