Abstract

Smartphone-based Oximetry device as early healthcare detection is a technological frontier. Smartphone oximetry devices offer a convenient method for remote SpO2 monitoring and early detection of critical health issues, especially during pandemics when vital indicators are necessary. Rising healthcare demands, and the COVID-19 pandemic are recent causes necessitating the prevalence for accessible early detection tools. This research investigates smartphone oximetry device as a convenient SpO2 monitoring, crucial for identifying hypoxia, a silent risk factor in medical conditions. The selection criteria for Samsung Note 10 smartphone following the research aims to per form 1) Literature Review to analyse articles showcasing smartphone oxime try functions and importance of Photoplethysmography Sensors for accurate SpO2 measurement. 2) The smartphone (Samsung Note 10) was selected for compatibility with FDA/ISO medical device standards. 3) To develop a User Requirements Document (URD) for the chosen smartphone, outlining user needs and functionalities for optimal performance. Smartphone-derived SpO2 measurements met full FDA/ISO accuracy requirements following RMSD 2.6% vs <3.5% threshold reflected in Table 1. This aligns with the critical role of pulse oximeters in managing COVID-19 patients and detecting silent hypoxia.

Abstract

This study explores the frequency of Laughter exercises in the workplace over two days and its positive effects. Intrinsic Motivation is defined as a type of motivation characterized by high Interest/enjoyment, Perceived competence, Perceived choice and low Pressure/tension, based on Self-determination theory and the IMI questionnaire, 22-items version (STD, 2015) (Annex D). Psychophysiology is another important factor of our study, it is defined as the link between body and mind (Caccioppo, Tarssinary, & Bernston, 2000), as laughter affect both physiology and psychology of people. The measures include psychological and physiological responses of a group of professionals in a Multinational Project Engineering Management Company, while they were at work (N = 43), out of which 55.8% were females and 44.2% males, working in Singapore. Participants reported no known cardiorespiratory conditions prior to the sessions. Laughter exercises were induced ranging from 3 and 6 exercises over a period of two days with the assistance of the Laughter Therapist, Van Ram (Ram, 2010). Pre- and-post measures were significant in certain aspects of physical exertion (heart rate and oxygen saturation) and intrinsic motivation. Participants psychophysiology was expected to positively improve through the laughter exercises, determined by heart rate and functional oxygen saturation of arterial haemoglobin (Sp02) using an Oximeter to measure haemoglobin saturation and heart rate index through the finger of participants. The results support the idea that laughter exercises can improve intrinsic motivation and can increase heart rate. To increase oxygen saturation, it is necessary to add a stronger focus on breathing exercises.
