  1. I am firmly of the opinion that one of the best investments @TheZooLady had us make was getting a #pulseOximeter. Yes, they even have talking ones. If it wasn't for that thing, I might not have gone into the ER in time for them to catch #pneumonia trying to set in, and gotten it taken care of before it became a magor thing.

  6. Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 could be redesigned to drop pulse oximeter functionality in response to a court ruling that the tech infringes on a patent held by Masimo. This would allow Apple to resume imports of the watches to the US. cnn.com/2024/01/15/tech/apple-

    Mine is usually a swirl of dark misty clouds with sparkly color spots floating in them, no relationship to the actual space around me.

    I'm thinking, especially since you mentioned COVID, you might want to play with a fingertip #PulseOximeter. The %SpO2 reading is an obvious clue for this kind of vision fade. Some (like my $30 Innovo iP900AP) include a Pi% reading which seems independent:

    media.ascentbrandsinc.com/imag

    "Perfusion Index or PI is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow
    to the non-pulsatile static blood flow in a patient’s peripheral
    tissue such as in a fingertip, toe, or ear lobe. Perfusion index
    is an indication of the pulse strength at the sensor site. The
    PI’s values range from 0.02% for very weak pulse to 20% for
    extremely strong pulse. The perfusion index varies depending
    on patients, physiological conditions, and monitoring sites.
    Because of this variability, each patient should establish his own
    “normal” perfusion index for a given location and use this for
    monitoring purposes."

    Well worth a visit if you're interested in AI, Machine Learning, racism in tech or related topics.

  11. There are tons of tech implications here - from fixing "smart" cameras, faucets and hand dryers that can't process darker skin effectively and search engines that default to lighter skin subjects in image search results, to outdated FDA guidelines for pulse oximeters that only vaguely state "two 'darkly pigmented' subjects must be included in testing." Great article.

  13. Excellent, detailed article about a new much more inclusive Skin Tone scale developed by Dr. Ellis Monk working with Google to provide "a fuller range of darker skin tones than the cruder tools currently used" to train AI data sets in medical situations, and, more urgently, to fix pulse oximeters that don't work as well on people of color. Very sharp read:
