Can a new finger sensor accurately track blood oxygen?
NCT ID NCT07785050
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether the Respiree pulse oximeter, a device worn on the finger, accurately measures blood oxygen levels. Healthy adults will breathe air with reduced oxygen to create mild, moderate, and severe low-oxygen states, and the device's readings will be compared with a gold-standard blood test. The goal is to gather data for FDA approval of the device.
