Optimization of Transcutaneous Oxygen Sensor
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerRespiratory illnesses continue to be a significant concern in the medical field, and their prevalence has only grown since the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, there is a need for reliable medical devices for remote monitoring. The existing technology presents limitations which do not allow for patient autonomy where the individual can be continuously monitored from their home. The technology in development has the potential to mitigate these shortcomings. The aim of this user study is to verify the accuracy of a wearable transcutaneous oxygen sensor and optimize its design and processing capabilities. In order to assess the viability of a current transcutaneous oxygen sensor prototype, a laboratory-based small human subject test was conducted to validate the sensor and characterize its performance. Qualitative research was conducted to improve the data processing methods as well as user comfort through wearability.
