Fitbit does, however, offer things the iWatch can't, such as an enhanced heart rate reader that includes a relative Sp02 sensor is capable of
tracking oxygen in the blood over long periods of time.
Not exact matches
The technique is an indirect measure of neural activity
in the brain: as a region activates, it consumes
oxygen, and neurologists use fMRI to
track fresh oxygenated
blood surging
in to replace the old.
He's looking into his own monitor, where he can observe pictures as the apparatus
tracks his eye movements and the
blood oxygen levels
in his brain.
The new study examined variation
in the amplitude of fluctuations
in what is called the
blood -
oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal, which
tracks activity levels
in the brain.
Using a technology called functional Near - InfraRed Spectroscopy (fNIRS), which uses infrared light to
track changes
in blood oxygen in different parts of the brain to provide a measure of what brain regions are becoming more activated (consuming more
oxygen) during certain tasks, the investigation will compare the brain patterns of children with ASD and typical children who have similar imitation scores and eyetracking patterns, to determine whether children with ASD process the same imitation tasks differently from typically developing children, at the level of their brain activity.
Thorough anesthetic monitoring involves keeping
track of and recording the patient's
blood pressure, heart rate,
oxygen saturation
in the
blood, respiratory rate, depth of anesthesia, temperature, and IV fluid rate.
A heart (EKG) and
oxygen monitor allows the surgeon to keep
track of heart rate and rhythm as well as the amount of
oxygen in the
blood.
If you care about health and fitness monitoring, a good processor would make it easier to analyze data from sensors
tracking your heart rate, SpO2 (the amount of
oxygen in your
blood), salt levels, sleep patterns or a number of other important wellness metrics.
In addition, Fitbit says it has improved the software behind its PurePulse heart rate tracker; as a result, Ionic can
track SpO2, a metric that estimates the
oxygen saturation level of red
blood cells.
Given Apple's recent announcement of the Health app for iOS 8 to collect and show data on calorie consumption, sleep activity,
blood oxygen levels and more, plus the conspicuous absence of a health -
tracking fitness band
in Apple's last iPhone 5s ad, the idea that the iWatch will be geared toward health seems as close to a foregone conclusion as you get for a device that hasn't even been officially announced yet.
