China’s microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor industry is surging, but technical gaps, fragmented production and coordination challenges hinder its full potential. As global demand accelerates, ...
Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
A pulse oximeter measures blood oxygen levels at home and in healthcare settings. Abnormally low readings on a pulse oximeter might require medical care, especially if they are below 92%. Skin color ...
Abstract: We describe an evaluation of photoplethysmography (PPG) signals with two wavelengths channels (infrared and red) using a wrist-worn sensor for the estimation of heart rate variability (HRV) ...
Abstract: Pulse oximetry is a popular non-invasive method for monitoring the oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) in blood as well as the heart rate (HR) of a patient. The photoplethysmographic signal (PPG ...
Objective NEWS2 (RCP 2017) 1 recommends use of ‘SpO2 Scale 2’ in patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure (usually due to COPD) to aim target saturations of 88–92%. We aimed to identify if COPD ...
