The Electrical and Computer Engineering in Medicine (ECEM) research group in collaboration with the Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team (PART) at the University of British Columbia have developed the Phone Oximeter; a
pulse oximeter interfaced to a mobile phone. The Phone Oximeter allows for the rapid acquisition of heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and as a novel feature: respiratory rate. The included decision support
engine can inform both medical staff and non-experts about critical physiological events that require their attention.
