There is no evidence that any smartphone technology is accurate for the measurement of blood oxygen saturation. Furthermore, the scientific basis of such technologies is questionable. Oxygen saturation levels obtained from such technologies should not be trusted.

 

Even the smartwatches that can monitor SpO2 should not be used exclusively as diagnostic devices, and you should consult with a medical professional if you are concerned by any of the readings you get from your wearable.
