Pulse oximetry device, system and method
Abstract:
A method of measuring blood oxygenation consists of measuring Sp02 on one or more test subjects using a first, reference pulse oximetry device (100), such as a medical- grade pulse-oximeter of the kind that employs, for example, a finger-tip clip-type probe. This can be done on each patient over relatively short time periods. Then, the Sp02 is monitored on a target subject across a relatively longer time period using a second, wearable pulse oximetry device (10) that can be worn non-intrusively by the target use, for example in the form of a bracelet. The Sp02 measured using the wearable pulse oximetry device (10), can be measured based on calibration measurements performed using the first, reference pulse oximetry device (100). In this way, the measurements produced by the wearable pulse oximetry device (10) are calibrated using a medical-grade pulse- oximeter (100).
