Pulse Oximeter Technology Meets Bluetooth And Wireless Capabilities
Years ago, pulse oximeter technology was extremely new and quite revolutionary in the field of medicine. Here was a device that would offer continuous, accurate readings of pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation of individuals while they were in the hospital settings. The device was fantastic and truly created a whole segment for itself in the medical device and equipment field. Then, after that there came another innovation that again shocked the health world. The advent of the portable pulse oximeter devices. The portable devices were made possible because of new chip technology. This chip technology allowed the device to not only be built to be smaller but also improved the cost of the device as well. By becoming smaller the device could not be a wireless and portable device. The previous generations of the device were definitely not mobile. They were large and heavy and actually manufactured for the hospital setting and to remain in one room. This proved to be difficult as many individuals with various health concerns needed to monitor their health and vital signs while not in the hospital setting. These people had to go to work or even to vacation but at the same time they still needed to monitor their health in order to ensure that they were operating at optimal health. The new portable pulse oximeter devices provided such a convenience. The ability to travel and go anywhere you desired to go without the worry that you were not able to be at your physician
