Given that health is so relevant for global productivity and
competitiveness, and that the Information and Communications
Technology (ICTs) play an important role in all of the
productivity factors, this work makes use of the ICTs in health
matters proposing the to use a WiFi oximeter. This article
describes the operating principles of a Pulse Oximeter (PO)
which is an opto-electronic non-invasive medical instrument
capable of measuring changes in heart rate (HR) and SpO2 at
the fingertip and its upgrade to the standards; HL7 and IEEE
11073-10404:2008, its design, and its validation against the
three existing devices. Variables (SpO2%, Ppm and
Temperature) were compared, and its performance and impact
were discussed the addition of the WiFi technology allows a
better communication between devices, causing a greater
impact in global competiveness.
