Multiple studies have shown that people with darker skin pigmentation run a higher risk of being misdiagnosed and undertreated than patients with lighter skin due to inaccurate oxygen level readings Though pulse oximeters are not a standard clinical laboratory device, clinical laboratory scientists (aka, medical technologists) know of them and understand their function, particularly with hospital patients. Now, scientists at multiple institutions are working to improve the basic pulse...
