Development of a noncontact PPG (ncPPG) system for oxygen saturation clinical analysis to increase the data reliability of SpO2 detection through consumer-level cameras

Sterasure Inc. in its current mission to provide biomedical tools to reinvent the clinical decision support, partners with the University of Waterloo to work towards the development of cutting-edge contactless vital sign monitoring systems. The technology studied in this research will allow the advance in the detection of oxygen saturation levels through cost-efficient systems. Although existing non-contact low-cost vital sign detection sensors offer great advantages for clinical environments, there is lack of studies showing medical reliability. Sterasure and the academic partner will prototype and design a reliable SpO2 contactless sensor which will be integrated in Sterasure’s biomedical device for future clinical studies.
