Advanced Techniques for Enhancing Pulse Oximeter Performance

Oxygen saturation of arterial blood, or SpO₂, is a critical physiological parameter that indicates the percentage of oxygen carried by the blood relative to its maximum capacity. This book provides a comprehensive overview of pulse oximetry principles and explores innovative approaches for estimating SpO₂ with improved reliability. Traditional pulse oximeters depend on sensor characteristics and patient-specific factors, which can influence measurement accuracy. The methods presented in this book aim to reduce such dependencies and enhance the performance of pulse oximetry systems. Bridging the gap between academic research and industrial medical instrumentation, this work offers valuable insights for biomedical engineers, healthcare professionals, and researchers involved in the development and application of advanced monitoring technologies.
