I read about this in the Health and Wellness forum this morning. This device is an early warning system for drops in oxygen levels in your blood that you might not even realize has occured due to C-19. The drop in Oxygen can preceed the difficulty in breathing.

Knowing WHEN to seek medical help is the problem this device might solve.

I'm not sure at what level of Oxygen would call for a trip to the doctor/hospital...still learning on the fly here, but wanted to get this out to a wider audience w/o delay.

AnasthesiaMD...you out there? What Oxygen level in blood is so low it is considered "seek professional medical attn?"

I think things like being constantly out of breath, tired and/or troubled or painful breathing would be an indicator. Same for a fever. I think most realize, know when they have an actual fever.



Too much reliance on tech could also delay trips to doctor with false, mistimed or misinterpreted readings.

I can answer.

Any number below 90% requires an ER visit
