In a proof-of-principle study, researchers have shown that smartphones are capable of detecting blood oxygen saturation levels down to 70%. This is the lowest value that pulse oximeters should be able ...

"Although absolute differences in readings were small, they can result in substantially higher rates of false negatives and ...
