What is OXY2?

A health start-up at IIT Madras in joint collaboration with HELYXON has developed a device called OXY2.
This newly designed device can easily take vitals of an individual such as heart rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation and respiration rate clinically accurate.
The core technology of OXY2 was validated after doing a year-long multi-centric study at various Chennai-based medical institutions for accuracy and performance with reference to current standards.
The device which can be powered by the coin celled battery is designed in such a way that it can be reused and recycled.
The device measures temperature at the armpit and blood oxygen level, and other parameters at the finger itself. The device has a lifetime of over a year.
