Oxygen Saturation Measurement With Pulse Oximetry and With Smart Phones and Smart Wearable

Oxgen saturation measurement with the pulse oximetry is considered as a standard of care for respiratory system monitoring. The evaluation of measured oxygen saturation could lead to the clinical decision making in taking care of patient with respiratory failure. Smart electronics (such smart phones, smart watch, and others) are currently equipped with the sensors and applications that allows the peripheral oxygen saturation, however the corelation between the validated measurement (pulse oximetry) and smart electronics measurement is not known at the moment. In case of close correlation and high sensitivity, could be the smart electronics used for oxygenation evaluation of outpatients together with possible early deterioration detection.
