Oximetry sensor using a LoRaWan modem.
This is the proof of concept of a project proposal for the development of a low cost and open source oximeter.
The project is in the beginning and the device I have is a POC.
I use arduino pro as a microcontroller and the MAX30100 sensor and a modem from RADIOENGE, a Brazilian company.
The LoRaWan network used was that of the American Tower that covers the entire City of Rio de Janeiro.

Leaving this proof of concept stage the proposal is to seek sponsorship for the development of a bracelet.
And that these bracelets are made available exclusively to the public health care network.
Nursing homes and ailments.
Here we have what we call the family clinic that serves the favelas and this type of device could be distributed to those served by these public clinics.
This device would be connected to a data visualization system and could be used to identify diseases like:
Heart attack
Heart failure
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Anemia
Lung cancer
Asthma
Pneumonia
and COVID19.
Some patients breathe normally - but Covid-19 smothers them in silence.
Many patients are losing oxygen in their blood long before they realize it.
