A Problem Statement The purpose of this project is to develop a low‐cost pulse oximeter for use in developing countries. It will be integrated with an innovative medical technology platform which uses a handheld processing device to record and display patient data. The oximeter must be rugged, durable, inexpensive, and must deliver data to the handheld processing device as an analog signal.
