Reflectance-Based Pulse Oximetry for the Chest and Wrist
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerReflectance-based pulse oximetry is a technique used for noninvasively monitoring the oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR). However, there is little supporting evidence that it can accurately collect measurements from the chest and wrist. In this project, a reflectance-based pulse oximeter was built and used to collect measurements while sitting, standing, during self-induced hypoxia, and during self-induced hyperventilation then compared to the measurements taken by a HOMEDIC Deluxe Pulse Oximeter. The prototype was able to accurately measure within an error of + 1% and ±3% for SpO2 and PR respectively from the wrist while an error of ±1% and +4% for SpO2 and PR respectively from the chest.
