Pulse Oximetry

16 Jan Pulse Oximetry

Help Reduce Racial Bias in Medicine!

We are seeking participants for a medical research study to help develop a new pulse oximeter that is accurate for all skin tones.

Healthy adults ages 18 – 50 years are invited to participate in this study measuring oxygen supply (pulse oximetry) in a new way without racial bias. Volunteers will have optical images taken of their hand and have blood draws while breathing air with different levels of oxygen. A new noninvasive medical device will take the optical images from each volunteer’s palm.

Overall, study procedures will last around 3 hours. Upon completion you will be offered a $200 debit card. The study will also validate parking in the UW Triangle Garage.

We greatly appreciate your participation in this study that aims to improve health equity. To sign up, please complete the following online form: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=W9229i_wGkSZoBYqxQYL0jXmOvSxa-RLpzAWgukoMOFURU41WUxEWEdKUjdGUFQyWVQ4TDM5MlZCUi4u&origin=QRCode
