DEVELOPMENT OF WEARABLE PULSE OXIMETRY FOR TELEHEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

In recent years there has been increasing interest in wearable/mobile health monitoring devices, both in research and industry. These devices are particularly important to the world's increasingly aging population, whose health has to be assessed regularly or monitored continuously. One of these devices is Pulse oximeter which indirectly measures the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmograph (PPG). The main goal of the paper is to develop a cost-effective user-friendly Pulse Oximetry for Telehealth Monitoring System.
