The meeting was intended to help inform the FDAs ongoing evaluation of pulse oximeters, their accuracy and performance, and what can be done to fix racial biases.

A panel of the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations Medical Devices Advisory Committee will meet Tuesday to review clinical data about the accuracy of pulse oximetry in patients with darker skin and to discuss recommendations on using these devices on people with dark skin tones.

For a person with dark skin, the oximeter could indicate that oxygen levels are normal, when, in reality, a blood sample might show low oxygen levels.

The potential risk of patient re-identification from publicly available health data is extremely low, according to new research from a team led by MIT Scientist Leo Anthony Celi.

For most patients, a pulse oximeter is a familiar device from visits to the doctor's office. Placed on a finger or a patient's ear lobe, pulse oximeters are an easy way to quickly get a measure of someone's oxygen saturation (SpO2), which should generally be above 90 percent.

Gender-bias has been the long standing hurdle to the modernness and advancement of practicing science. This is particularly true for research being done in the field of computational physiology and metabolism. As per recent reports by United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), women are under represented in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, with total estimates being close to only 30% worldwide. On the path to defeating stereotypes...

A review of more than 7,000 clinical AI papers found more than half of the databases used in the work came from the U.S. and China.

Researchers identify factors that explain individuals’ stress while driving Admit it: Daily commutes - those stops, the starts, all that stress - gets on your last nerve. Or is that just me? It might be, according to a new study from the University of Houstons Computational Physiology Lab. UH Professor Ioannis Pavlidis and his team of researchers took a look at why some drivers can stay cool behind the wheel while others keep getting more irked. "We call the phenomenon accelerousal.
