Oximeter app for iPhone
We have noticed a significant increase in downloads of iPhone apps of oximeter As low blood oxygen levels can lead to Until we detect an infection by the damn COVID-19, many users are downloading apps to measure those levels.
We have mainly noticed an increase in downloads of a paid app called Pulse Oximeter. A tool that costs €5.49 and claims to measure heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
Here we will tell you why we have to be careful with this type of apps.
Beware of oximeter apps for iPhone:
Normally to measure the level of oxygen in the blood, a device is used that is placed on the index finger of our hand. We can buy this tool, for example, on Amazon. If you are interested we will send you a link:
This device is linked via Bluetooth with our iPhone and we can monitor our blood oxygen levels.
The fact that an app makes use of the flashlight of our iPhone to turn our device into an oximeter, gives us a lot to think about. It is not credible at all. That is why we advise against paying €5.49 for Pulse Oximeter, an app that is reigning among all those that supposedly measure your oxygen levels.
App Pulse Oximeter
Furthermore, seeing the reviews it has and that the application is not updated, as of today, since December 2016, there are many indications to think that its download is not recommended.
That is why we want to alert you and advise against paying for this type of oximeter apps for iPhone.
To conclude, we comment that the Apple Watch does have an oximeter that Apple, for the moment, has not activated it and that surely we can use in the near future. The watch uses the sensors on the back to make the measurement.
