SpO2 Detecting Applied on Android Platform

In this paper, we put forward a design of oxygenation sensor module, along with a software application development running on Android operation system to combine the sensor module with the Android terminal. A practicable system for blood oxygen monitoring is developed. This system contains two major parts. The first part is the design of oxygenation sensor module. Algorithms about dark current removing and pulse frequency extraction are discussed. Moreover, module calibration is conducted, which is then used to compare the precision of linear and quadratic equations for SpO2 computation. The second part is about the oxygenation monitoring software design and development based on Android platform. The general protocol Blood Condition Index (BCI) transport protocol in hospital monitor is studied and applied. Test results demonstrate the effectiveness of using SpO2 sensor module for blood oxygen measurement. Since ASubscript textSubscript textndroid has a high penetration in our daily life, this work will provide a useful tool for convenient and low cost daily monitoring of SpO2 at home.
