This was a single-center prospective cohort study of critically ill patients admitted to the critical care medical center at the tertiary care teaching hospital (Kindai University Hospital) between ...

First, pause and take a deep breath. When we breathe in, our lungs fill with oxygen, which is distributed to our red blood cells for transportation throughout our bodies. Our bodies need a lot of ...

This report presents the Harespod dataset, an open dataset for high altitude hypoxia research, which includes respiration and SpO2 data. The dataset was collected from 15 college students aged 23–31 ...

In a proof-of-principle study, researchers have shown that smartphones are capable of detecting blood oxygen saturation levels down to 70%. This is the lowest value that pulse oximeters should be able ...

First, pause and take a deep breath. When we breathe in, our lungs fill with oxygen, which is distributed to our red blood cells for transportation throughout our bodies. Our bodies need a lot of ...

If your oxygen saturation level drops below 92%, seek medical help right away. A dangerously low oxygen level can make you ...

For the past few weeks, the Pixel Watch has been missing estimated oxygen variation (EOV) data in the Fitbit app, but the graph is now back. This metric is an “approximation of the changes in your ...

The blood oxygen sensor featured in Apple Watch Series 6 and 7 is “not intended for medical use,” Apple says. That seems odd, considering that low blood oxygen is a serious medical condition. If the ...

A systematic review draws together five decades of research -- including more than 730,000 individual measurements -- to assess how a person's skin tone can influence the readings provided by some of ...

A study led by Johns Hopkins University researchers suggests that the use of pulse oximeters in hospitalized COVID-19 patients often overestimated true arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2), especially ...

Smartwatches can measure everything from heart rate to sleep quality, but one health metric has become particularly relevant over the past two years: blood oxygen saturation. Two of the world's ...

We spend much time working in buildings with sealed windows, in vehicles with closed windows and homes with closed windows. This reduces the amount of oxygen we get. Limited oxygen translates to a ...
