Participants Wanted: Automated Remote Pulse Oximeter Research Study

Pireh Pirzada
Wednesday 29 September 2021

We invite you to participate in a research project where your vitals such as heart rate and blood oxygenation level will be measured using camera-based technology (Automated Remote Pulse Oximeter system – ARPOS) and a commercial pulse oximeter clip. You may be asked to stand or sit in front of the Kinect camera and later also retake vitals after doing some light exercise. You will receive instructions from the researcher to guide you. The study will take less than 45 minutes per participant.

You will be given 10 GBP book voucher as compensation for your time (for UK participants only). You must have an XBOX one OR a windows computer to participate in the study. The researcher will send you a Kinect and a commercial pulse oximeter clip to your home address to complete the study. Once the study is completed, the researcher will arrange a pickup to collect the items sent you.

Note: The data collected from the study will be available for researchers to analyse for indefinite period. This data will include images of your face collected from the study but is not linked to your name and will be anonymised during publication. The analysed data will be published in a research journal/conference. The current study will test the hypothesis that the remotely measured values are comparable to the pulse oximeter values.
