A device to directly measure blood oxygen saturation in a fetus during labor has been developed by researchers at the University of California, Davis. By providing better information about the health ...

Pulse oximetry guides the management of respiratory conditions through non-invasively monitoring arterial oxygen saturation. Unstable haemoglobin variants may produce inaccurate readings. We describe ...

Fitbits and Nike FuelBands are great in that they have opened up a huge market for wearable self-tracking devices, but in medicine, taking that concept a step further is what’s really going to save ...

Patients suffering from chronic cardiopulmonary diseases could soon have a solution to help them accurately monitor their health and warn doctors at the first sign of trouble. By simply carrying their ...

Two easily measurable signs of health - respiration rate and blood-oxygen saturation - are distinctly predictive of higher mortality among patients hospitalized with COVID-19, according to a study ...

To determine oxygen saturation profile over 6 h monitoring period in healthy late-preterm and term neonates during the first 48 h of age, and to assess the impact of gestational age, birth weight and ...

"We have independent measurements of the mother's heart rate and her oxygen saturation (as well as other possible cues such as fetal heart rate, maternal respiration rate/motions via conventional ...

Proof-of-principle study: Researchers have demonstrated that smartphones are capable of detecting blood-oxygen saturation levels down to 70%. Subjects place their finger over the camera and flash of a ...

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 ...

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 ...

A device to directly measure blood oxygen saturation in a fetus during labor has been developed by researchers at UC Davis. By providing better information about the health of a fetus right before ...
