Over the last decade, pulse oximeters have been miniaturised and have become wireless. They also became affordable, and several medical grade products can now be ordered online for less than €100. As a result, pulse oximeters are more often part of our home medicine cabinet and the COVID-19 pandemic definitely boosted their adoption. Home monitoring enables the early detection of patients requiring oxygen and hospitalisation, or the surveillance of patients after early discharge from the hospital (Shah et al. 2020). For patients unable to monitor themselves, several remote monitoring programmes have been created. They usually combine the use of a finger wireless sensor by the patient and a supervision by a dedicated and remote command centre receiving SpO2 and pulse rate measurements via the patient’s smartphone. In case of abnormalities detected by the pulse oximeter, a dedicated staff is available to advise the patient on a 24/7 basis. In addition to classical finger sensors using transmittance photoplethysmography, reflective sensors part of adhesive patches, wrist devices or watches are now available (Figure 1).

In theory, these tools have potential to expand the use of pulse oximetry. However, their accuracy remains to be established by well-designed clinical studies and most have not been approved for medical use.
