A recent study from the University of North Carolina and Washington University experimentally confirms that skin pigmentation ...

CHICAGO — In a new study, pulse oximeters underestimated arterial oxygen saturation among patients in the ICU, and the ability of the devices to detect hypoxemia was especially hindered in ...

Pulse oximeters were invented in 1974 and decades of research since then have repeatedly shown inaccuracies in readings for individuals with darker skin tones. A 2022 study of 3,029 patients, led ...

The UNC study, published in Biophotonics Discovery, aimed to experimentally characterize the impact of skin pigmentation on pulse oximeters across a broad range of oxygen saturations, and determine ...

Blood glucose monitoring is crucial for controlling diabetes. However, traditional fingertip pricking methods usually cause discomfort to patients and cannot achieve continuous monitoring. To overcome ...
