Project description
Working closely with the sleep health unit within Flinders, we are endeavouring to streamline routine multi-night access to relevant sleep and respiratory signals. One of the core signals being measure is oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry. We would like to develop a very unobtrusive pulse oximeter. Ring oximeters exist, but sampling rates, power consumption, and data capture remain non-ideal. This project aims to develop a inobtrusive pulse oximeter (nominally ring-type), customised to streamline multi-night data capture during sleep studies.
