Project Title: A Hybrid type 2 study of next generation pulse oximeters to support the integrated management of childhood illness in primary care settings

Project Description: Achieving global targets for child mortality reduction in low- and middle-income countries (LMlCs) requires improvements in the detection and management of severely ill children. Use of pulse oximetry at hospitals/PHC saves lives and resources, and devices are being scaled up worldwide. Next generation pulse oximeters (PO) are also in development to integrate additional functionality such as respiratory rate and temperature measurement. This study aims to provide evidence on next generation multimodal PO devices through a...
