Key result
Pathlength ratio correction in calibration-free reflective pulse oximetry reduces SpO2 measurement error to 1%.
Why the study?
Reflective photoplethysmography is not clinically accepted because red and infrared pathlengths are patient-dependent, requiring patient-dependent calibration to reduce errors in SpO2 measurement.
Does a calibration-free algorithm incorporating a pathlength ratio β improve the accuracy of SpO2 measurement using reflective photoplethysmography?
Population
Data from a human hypoxia study covering SpO2 values from 70 % to 100 %
Comparison
Calibration-free algorithm incorporating pathlength ratio β vs blood gas analysis reference

Incorporating a wavelength-dependent pathlength correction factor into a calibration-free algorithm improves the accuracy of reflective pulse oximetry to an average RMSE of 1%.
Badiola et al. (2022) studied Oxygen saturation measurement. Calibration-free algorithm with pathlength ratio correction factor β vs. Blood Gas Analysis (reference) was evaluated on Root-mean-square error (RMSE) in measuring SpO2. Incorporating a pathlength ratio correction factor into a calibration-free algorithm for reflective pulse oximetry reduced the average root-mean-square error in measuring SpO2 to 1%.
