A method and system for removing corruption in photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals for monitoring cardiac health of patients is provided. The method is performed by extracting photoplethysmogram signals from the patient, detecting and eliminating corruption caused by larger and transient disturbances in the extracted photoplethysmogram signals, segmenting photoplethysmogram signals post detection and elimination of corruption caused by larger and transient disturbances, identifying of inconsistent segments from the segmented photoplethysmogram signals, detecting anomalies from the identified inconsistent segments of the photoplethysmogram signals, analysing the detected anomalies of the photoplethysmogram signals and identifying photoplethysmogram signal segments corrupted by smaller and prolonged disturbances.
