Article Synopsis
- Wearable pulse oximeters, used for monitoring patients at risk of deterioration (like COVID-19 patients), lack established reliability in hospital environments.
- The study evaluated the performance of different wearable pulse oximeters under motion and varying levels of oxygen saturation, revealing that movement negatively impacts accuracy but devices still detected hypoxemia effectively.
- Overall, finger-worn pulse oximeters met international accuracy standards despite some degradation from motion, suggesting they are suitable for clinical use.
