Data Repository

The Open Oximetry Project is working to accelerate improvements in device performance through data sharing.

About Our Data

Sources

Initially, the majority of data in the repository has been collected by the OpenOximetry Team based at the UCSF Hypoxia Lab. These data are de-identified and collected from both healthy human adult volunteers in controlled desaturation studies, as well as critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. Studies are conducted in accordance with IRB approved protocols and study subject consent. The data repo build began in October 2023, so please be patient with us as we work to incorporate data.

We invite the global community to contribute data to this repository so long as it adheres to our data dictionary format, data collection protocols and data sharing agreements.

Repository Purpose

We hope that by creating and sharing this unique data set, we will be able to collectively accelerate improvement of pulse oximeter performance and reduce health disparities.

Use Cases

The Open Oximetry team is collecting data that we want to share with the global community of stakeholders.
