In today’s time, the demand for pulse oximeter has increased. In such a situation, a Kolkata-based health startup has recently developed a mobile app that can be used instead of an oximeter.
In the second wave of Corona epidemic, the discussion about the Pulse Oximeter in the country has become very fast. Actually, it is such a small device, which helps us to measure the oxygen saturation level in the body. The health department periodically asks the oxygen level of the patients admitted in the home isolation, so that oxygen can be transported to the hospital in a timely manner. This is the reason why the demand for pulse oximeter has increased. The current situation is that there is a shortage of oximeters in the market.
In today’s time, an oximeter has become more important than a smartphone in every household. In such a situation, due to increasing demand, manufacturers have increased the price of oximeter. For those who are financially weak, a Kolkata-based health startup has recently developed a mobile app that can be used instead of an oximeter.

This mobile app is called CarePlix Vital, which works to monitor the user’s blood oxygen level, pulse and reaction rates.

He further said that now we are bringing this technology through the rear camera and flashlight of the smartphone. CarePlix Vital can be downloaded for free from Google Play Store and Apple Store .
Subhabrata Paul, co-founder of CareNow Healthcare, told Indian Express that people need a pulse oximeter or smartwatch, etc. to get information like oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Talking about internal technology in this device, photoplethismography or PPG is used.
Explain that the pulse oximeter shows how much oxygen red blood cells (RBCs) are carrying from here to there. It is also called PPO ie portable pulse oximeter. Through this device, the doctor, nurse or any health professional helps to know whether a person needs extra oxygen or not.
