Abstract: This work proposes a method utilizing oxygen saturation (SpO2) for predicting incident hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We extracted time domain features and ...

A major UK study shows that commonly used home pulse oximeters can overestimate oxygen levels in people with darker skin, increasing the risk of undetected hypoxemia and raising urgent questions about ...
