HOW TO MAKE A PULSE OXIMETER?-BIOMEDICAL FINAL YEAR PROJECTS

This article will interface you with the step by step things required when you are about to make your own Pulse oximeter.

Principles of Pulse Oximetry Technology:

The principle of pulse oximetry is based on the red and infrared light absorption characteristics of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs more infrared light and allows more red light to pass through. Deoxygenated (or reduced) hemoglobin absorbs more red light and allows more infrared light to pass through. Red light is in the 600-750 nm wavelength light band. Infrared light is in the 850-1000 nm wavelength light band.
