Looks like this type of oximeter is not very useful? Unless you are using those oximeter in the hospital?

hospital one is measuring the same thing. But more accurate at detecting lower levels of oxygenation. This cheap type, it takes a long time to detect poorer blood flow/oxygenation.

normal healthy person, yeah u put on this vs the hospital one, about the same. The sick ones, these type of cheap one, will give like some funny readings which sometimes u not sure to trust or not.

i have some cheap oximeters in my clinic, i usually take their readings with a pinch of salt. I usually use it to reassure those people who think they are breathless/hyperventilating.
It's not hospital grade equipment. 

By the time the oximeter shows anything, is yanzhong already lah.  The person should have consulted a doctor before then...

It's for ppl who need to get MC to watch Euro 2020 lah....

Asking old folks to test out their blood oxygen level! 

I know my mum answer. I will study medicine in my next life. 😓

Yes, you can check your oxy level after "hay hoo hay hoo" on the bed to see if you can go for second rounds.......

Oxy level high, go for it.

Oxy level low, better stop & sleep to catch your breath ....

 

FYI, the best (most accurate) measurement is your middle finger.

Don't believe me go goggle.🤗

No idea. But I know a patient who got diagnosed with atrial fibrillation due to his apple watch. Lol. May have saved him from a stroke.

lai lai lai, talk new normal liao.... give you this oximeter, if you infected and recover at home, can ownself test ownself, no good then call ambulance....

In the new normal, an infected person could recover at home, because with vaccination the symptoms will be mostly mild, and with others around the infected person also vaccinated, the risk of transmission will be low.

Instead of monitoring COVID-19 infection numbers every day, the focus will be on the outcomes: How many fall very sick, how many are in ICU and how many need to be intubated for oxygen. 

like that, we won't know daily BTO figures liao......😂
