I mentioned in a previous post that I had purchased a home pulse oximeter and had used it to monitor my oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels during the time I had COVID-esque symptoms recently. Personally, ...

A friend I know bought a smartwatch when he started experiencing symptoms of Covid-19, primarily to keep a check on his blood oxygen levels. When asked why he bought a device worth Rs 30,000 instead ...

In this video, I created a blood oximeter by using the MAX30105 particle sensor to figure out the changes in color of passing ...

Pulse oximeters measure blood oxygen level — how much oxygen is present in your blood and how well it is transported to the extremities (blood pressure monitors are different). Medical pulse oximeters ...

Pulse oximetry is a means for non-invasive monitoring of oxygen saturation in blood. It employs an indirect method of assessing these conditions immediately just by clipping a sensor onto your finger ...

Put simply, SpO2 is a measure of blood oxygen saturation. The more oxygen you have in your blood, the higher your SpO2 levels are going to be. Seeing as our bodies need oxygen to survive, we can ...

Oxygen is absorbed by a protein in your blood called hemoglobin. When you breathe, your lungs load up blood cells with oxygen, then the pumping of your heart circulates the oxygen-rich blood through ...

To determine if a change in the pulse oximeter goal range and high alarm limit for oxygen saturation (SpO 2) alters the distribution of SpO 2 for premature infants in oxygen. This study was nested ...
