Apparatus and Methods for Monitoring Hypoxia
First Claim
1. An oximetry device for monitoring blood oxygen saturation of a user, the oximetry device comprising:
- a main body; and
a wrist strap coupled with the main body and adapted to removably secure the main body on a wrist of the user during operation of the device;
wherein the main body includes an oximeter sensor adapted to generate an output signal indicative of measured blood oxygen saturation, a controller in operative communication with the oximeter sensor and configured to determine a percentage blood oxygen saturation of the user as a function of the output signal generated by the oximeter sensor, and a display for presenting visual information generated by the controller to the user, the display including a changeable backlighting color, wherein the controller is configured to adjust a color of the display backlighting as a function of a measured blood oxygen saturation of the user.
