10 -- It was revealed recently that Google's much anticipated Project Ara will have swappable health related accessories, one of which is a Pulse Oximeter. The Pulse Oximeter will allow the smartphone to measure oxygen levels in your blood.
According to Covidien, it is the first company to receive clearance for a motion-tolerant bedside pulse oximeter portfolio that also is compliant with ISO 80601-2-61 (the ISO standard for pulse oximetry).
This study was planned to assess the magnitude of hypoxia which is unnoticed in patients admitted in the wards of our tertiary care hospital by using pulse oximeter.
This pulse oximeter that connects to an iPhone or iPad can precisely detect blood oxygen levels, which is vital information for pilots who fly unpressurized aircraft and hikers who climb to high elevations.
