Patent attributes
The melanin bias reducing pulse oximeter system reduces melanin interference when obtaining pulse oximetry readings for individuals with higher skin concentrations of melanin. The system incorporates optics reducing the melanin bias through hardware and software designed using extensive testing, via a proprietary testing method. The physical pulse oximeter includes different mechanical designs, for example, finger clip, ring, and bracelet design for enhanced usage, accuracy, and comfort for those unable to wear traditional pulse oximeters. The user interface includes built-in UI, external and portable UI, bedside monitoring, and connection to patient monitoring systems, via wired and/or wireless means. Further systems include those with both melanin bias reducing pulse oximetry and heart telemetry in the same device, via either a wired or wireless compact waterproof system to be used for continuous monitoring including blood oxygen saturation as a 5
