Naziya Pathan, Dr. Mukti E. Jadhav

Abstract: Pulse Oximeters are low cost non-Invasive medical sensors used to continuously measure the Oxygen saturation (SPO2) of hemoglobin in blood. It displays the percentage of blood that is loaded with oxygen. Pregnant women are recommended to have this medical device at home. As soon as women get pregnant, children get all the necessary vitamins from blood, which can contribute to the decrease of the level of hemoglobin, which can cause severe complications. Women are recommended to take vitamins and eat a lot of fruit and products that contribute to the increase of the level of hemoglobin. Good nutrition and regular determination of finger pulse is the guarantee of improved health conditions of a pregnant woman and future children.
