Researchers from Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan have developed a new technique for measuring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) without the need for contact or reference values. The current method of measuring SpO2 using a pulse oximeter can cause skin inflammation or stress, especially in neonates or patients with sensitive skin. The researchers used video images of the skin and different light wavelengths to accurately measure SpO2 without the need for contact or reference values. The proposed method was found to be more accurate than the conventional method. This research has important implications for non-contact measurement of SpO2, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. [Extracted from the article] |
