Smart wrist accessories have become real helpers in the lives of many users. The functionality of modern smart watch models allows you to track health indicators and synchronize the received data.

One of the amazing features of smartwatches is the measurement of blood oxygen levels. This feature has been developed in watches for a long time, however, with the advent of newer models, this function has been able to improve and provide clearer indicators.

SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) - is the medical term for the percentage of human hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen. Simply put, this is the designation of the amount of oxygen in the blood cells.

This indicator is very important for a person, for the reason that it directly indicates the general condition of his respiratory system. Therefore, for absolutely accurate measurements, it is necessary to purchase medical equipment.

The cells of the human body require constant energy for any action and chemical processes in the body, which is the lifeblood.

We can get a better idea by comparing the human body to a car engine. For humans, vital fuels are: nutrients, water and air. These factors keep people alive.

The blood contains the cells responsible for the functioning of the body. Of these: 40 percent are cells themselves, and 60 percent are plasma. Those who monitor their health are well aware that most of these cells are erythrocytes (red blood cells). These cells make up 99 percent of all blood cells.

Erythrocytes contain - from 250 million hemoglobin molecules that can establish a relationship with the production of oxygen, which, in turn, distributes it to all tissues of the human body.

If we turn to the analogy for a simple understanding, then hemoglobin is a taxi that can deliver oxygen to every part of the body, without exception. When blood flows through a person's lungs, hemoglobin captures oxygen molecules and distributes them to all tissues. After this process, the following follow - the molecules remove carbon dioxide. This is reflected in the natural functions - inhaling for fresh air and exhaling for purification from carbon dioxide.

A healthy person has SpO2 norm readings equivalent to 96-99% combined oxygen and hemoglobin (oxyhemoglobin).

Interesting fact. The color of human blood depends on the amount of oxygen in it. A more saturated color of the blood depends on the greater oxygen content in hemoglobin.

During exercise, oxygen levels may decrease or fluctuate.

When the blood is saturated with oxygen less than 99%, this can lead to the development of hypoxemia, which indicates a lack of oxygen. Subsequently, the lack of oxygen leads to a reduced level of oxygen (hypoxia).

Smart Watch metrics can be used to provide health information. SpO2 measurement on a smart device mimics the functionality of a heart rate monitor.

The safe light emitted by the indicator allows it to pass through tissues, reflect information and enter the photodetector. The level of oxygen saturation as a percentage is determined by this light.

Note: despite the clarity of the indicators, smart devices of this format cannot provide the most accurate measurements. Any wrist smart watch has certain errors that should not be fully relied upon. In order to obtain accurate results, it is necessary to refer to medical technology.

Wrist devices will be very useful for emergency situations in the life of the user. Non-high-precision devices are able to warn of critical indicators. With serious health problems, it is necessary to constantly monitor the level of oxygen in the blood.

Smart devices with this feature will be as useful as possible:

• Athletes.
• Climbers.
• People with serious illnesses.
• To old people.
• On the recommendation of a doctor.

Smart watches with a heart rate monitor have a built-in infrared LED that allows you to make such measurements. Most newer models have this feature.
