Objective: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a new algorithm for estimating arterial oxygen saturation can be effective even with data corrupted by motion artifacts (MAs). Methods: OxiMA, an algorithm based on the time-frequency components of a photoplethysmogram (PPG), was evaluated...
