Pulse oximeter bench tests under different simulated skin tones (2024)
Journal Article

Pulse oximeters’ (POs) varying performance based on skin tones has been highly publicised. Compared to arterial blood gas analysis, POs tend to overestimate oxygen saturation (SpO2) values for people with darker skin (occult hypoxemia). The objective...

Forehead monitoring of heart rate in neonatal intensive care (2023)
Journal Article

Heart rate is an extremely important physiological parameter to measure in critically unwell infants, as it is the main physiological marker that changes in response to a change in infant condition. Heart rate is routinely measured peripherally on a... Read More about Forehead monitoring of heart rate in neonatal intensive care.

U-shape functionalized optical fibre sensors for measurement of anaesthetic propofol (2022)
Journal Article

Propofol is used widely for intravenous anaesthesia during surgery and sedation in critical care. There is no method currently to assay the concentration of propofol in plasma in real time. The ability to do so would significantly improve patient saf... Read More about U-shape functionalized optical fibre sensors for measurement of anaesthetic propofol.

Optical Fibre Sensor for Capillary Refill Time and Contact Pressure Measurements under the Foot (2021)
Journal Article

Capillary refill time (CRT) refers to the time taken for body tissue to regain its colour after an applied blanching pressure is released. Usually, pressure is manually applied and not measured. Upon release of pressure, simple mental counting is typ... Read More about Optical Fibre Sensor for Capillary Refill Time and Contact Pressure Measurements under the Foot.

Optical fibre Sensor for Simultaneous Temperature and Relative Humidity Measurement: Towards Absolute Humidity Evaluation (2021)
Journal Article

Temperature and humidity are essential parameters in monitoring the health of patients in critical care. An optical fibre sensor has been developed for simultaneous measurement of relative humidity (RH) and temperature at a single optical fibre tip b...
