Pulse oximeters use light to measure how much oxygen is in a person’s blood. For most people, a normal pulse oximeter reading is between 95% and 100%, researchers said in background notes. Readings ...

Healthcare institutions delete records of patient encounters, common cardiology patients are underrepresented in clinical trials, and a medical device is less accurate in patients with darker skin.

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, finds the ...
