ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system and method for measuring blood oxygen saturation. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention include emitting light having a wavelength spectrum that is optimized for an oxygen saturation reading less than 80 percent, detecting the light, and transmitting signals based on the detected light, the signals being useful in determining blood oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter.
