Abstract
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method of measuring the level of oxygen saturation in the body, or the level of oxygen in the blood. It can detect even the smallest changes in the efficiency of transporting oxygen from the heart to the extremities, including hands and feet. Pulse oximetry uses a pulse oximeter for measurement and it is often used in hospitals and emergency rooms. The purpose of oximetry is to check how the heart pumps oxygen to the rest of the body and it can be used to monitor the health of any patient suffering from a disease that affects their blood oxygen level. A description of the main principles of pulse oximeters for medical and fitness applications is presented in this paper. A design of a pulse oximeter is examined, demonstrating how heart rate and oxygen levels are measured.
