Assignee: SMART METER CORPORATION
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 12:
13. A pulse oximeter comprising:
a sensor component comprising:
a first side disposed opposite a second side; and
a receiving portion configured to receive a finger of an individual therein,
wherein the first side comprises an emitter component configured to emit light at one or more wavelengths into a tissue of the finger of the individual, and
wherein the second side comprises a detector component configured to detect the light originating from the emitter component that emanates from the tissue of the finger of the individual after passing through the tissue; and

an engine configured to calculate physiological parameters for the individual based on data received from the sensor component, the engine comprising:
a memory storing one or more user profiles associated with one or more users;
a processor connected to the memory; and

a display, the display configured to display data to the individual, including blood oxygen level, pulse rate waveform, pulse rate value, pulse column, battery strength, and network connectivity status,
wherein the display includes one or more indicators including one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and
wherein the one or more indicators comprise an audio functionality such that the one or more indicators project or flash light and/or emanate a sound when the individual is within a proximity of the pulse oximeter; and a key fob that contains wireless signal capabilities,
wherein the key fob is configured to transmit a signal to the processor when the key fob is in proximity of the pulse oximeter, and
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive the signal from the key fob;
select, based on the signal, a user profile from the memory corresponding to an owner of the key fob; and
store a blood oxygen saturation reading or a pulse rate reading of the individual in the user profile when the owner of the key fob is a corresponding user.
