Information gathered by oximeters used to monitor patients with COVID-19 could prove to help doctors predict deterioration in a patient's condition, researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Rambam Health Care Campus have said.
The researchers have developed a new set of tools to analyze the data collected by oximeters, which monitor oxygen saturation levels in a patient's blood. Low oxygen levels in blood indicate low oxygen in the body's tissues, which can ultimately lead to organ failure.
