• "Emergency scalability"

    A simple device, a simple production but could show a fundamental information to evaluate the health state for prevention purpose with the oxygen % in blood, oximetry.

  • Simple design and standard parts

    To be scalable and easy to build every single parts are common and available in standard channels for industry and makers !!

  • Fast and essential

    To read the basic data and the main infos, a simple display clear and with a huge contrast.

  • "Advantages of 3d printing"

    An easy way to make a project easy and achievable in all the world: 3d printing for the case and for finger sensor enclosure...

  • ARDUINO make it easy

    Worldwide common projects and useful libraries: thanks to Arduino this project could be made in all the World and implemented, Improved in a short time.

The difference between invention and innovation is that you execute. Dean Hovey

PULSE OXIMETER FOR EMERGENCY USE DURING CORONAVIRUS DISEASE (COVID‐19) PANDEMIC

This simple project want help people and institution in this Emergency. The difficult reperibility of fundamental device that in standard situation are the base in all the Hospitals is a huge problem, as also the shortage of personal protection devices..

Open source as the base for fast replication and diffusion

The "base pack" of this first release are intended to produce a functional device with all the parts:

1
The hardware

A short list with all necessary parts, common and cheap hardware with a huge potential: Arduino Nano (next micro and others), MAX30100 pulse-oximeter sensor, OLED screen 128x32, "emergency board".

2
3d printable enclosures

Thanks to the Bergamo based bicycle company "3t Cycling", a 3d printable case was developed to group all parts together. www.3t.bike

3
3d printable finger-clip

An open-source and already available "finger sensor enclosure" are the fast way to share the project. FInd it in thingiverse repository. Is a "Pulse Oximeter Clip" to use with MAX30100 Board designed by Peter_Smith.

4
Simple emergency board

To electrically connect and to support all the parts a simple "baseboard" is build with a prototype circuit board (next level will be a printable circuit). In this way connect Arduino board, the sensor and the Oled screen is fast.

5
The code

In this preliminary release a base configuration is build to have clear view of the heart rate and of the oximetry, with real time monitoring. The base configuration and the paramers was set for a general use, some simple change could be necessary for specific situation.

6
The instructions

Simple Draws, a step by step instructions and base information for assembly and debug. The links for libraries download and the thingiverse repository. Nothing else is needed in this phase.
