Collaborative Community

The Open Oximetry Project was created to improve the safety and accuracy of pulse oximeters in all populations, and we hope to build a community of stakeholders from diverse disciplines, geographies, industries, viewpoints and populations, to prevent duplication of efforts, share knowledge, and accelerate progress.

About

The Open Oximetry Project was created to improve the safety and accuracy of pulse oximeters in all populations.

We recognize that many teams and sectors around the world are working on these issues and hope to build a Collaborators’ Community of stakeholders from diverse disciplines, geographies, industries, viewpoints and populations, to prevent duplication of efforts, share knowledge, and accelerate progress. This process began in August 2022, and in January 2024 our Collaborative Community has been recognized by the FDA, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).

For more information about our Collaborative Community, please review the charter here.

Membership in the Collaborative Community is open to all stakeholders, including individuals and organizations takes minutes t complete this short form to sign up.
