Popis: Background and aim: Telehealth is a strategy to expand the reach of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Smartphones can monitor and transmit oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) data to ensure patient safety during home-based or other exercise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usability, validity and reliability of a Kenek O2 pulse oximeter and custom prototype smartphone application (smartphone oximeter) during rest and exercise in healthy participants and those with chronic lung disease. Methods: Fifteen individuals with chronic lung disease and 15 healthy controls were recruited. SpO2 and HR were evaluated at rest and during cycling and walking. SpO2 was valid if the mean bias was within +± 2%, the level of agreement (LoA) was within ± 4%; HR was valid if the mean bias was within ± 5 beats per min (bpm), LoA was within ± 10 bpm. Usability was assessed with a questionnaire and direct observation. Results: The smartphone oximeter was deemed easy to use. At rest, SpO2 measures were valid in both groups (bias 10 bpm) in either group. Conclusions: The smartphone oximeter did not record HR or SpO2 accurately in patients with chronic lung disease during exercise, although SpO2 was valid at rest. During exercise, patients with chronic lung disease should pause to ensure greatest accuracy of SpO2 and HR measurement.
