Advanced Pulse Oximeter

An advanced pulse oximeter should be used because it provides real-time, non-invasive monitoring of vital health parameters, which is critical in many scenarios. Here's why it's important:

1. Monitor Blood Oxygen Levels (SpO2):

1a. Detects low oxygen levels early—important for people with asthma, COPD, COVID-19, heart conditions, or during high altitudes.
1b. Helps track oxygen saturation in critical care or home health monitoring.

2. Track Heart Rate Accurately:

2a. Helps identify tachycardia, bradycardia, or irregular pulse patterns.
2b. Important for athletes, heart patients, and during recovery monitoring.

3. Early Detection of Respiratory Problems:

Advanced models with respiratory rate help catch breathing issues before they worsen.

4. Sleep & Fitness Tracking:

Continuous oximeters (e.g., rings or wristbands) monitor overnight for sleep apnea, oxygen dips, or fitness recovery.

5. Remote Health Monitoring:

With Bluetooth/app sync, it enables doctors or caregivers to track vitals remotely—ideal for elderly, rural patients, or post-operative care.

6. COVID-19 & Infectious Disease Monitoring:

Vital during pandemics to track silent hypoxia (low oxygen without symptoms).
