Hi,
Reading other threads, I came across this Oximeter device that's reads the oxygen saturation/ SPO2 and heart rate for static training.
The device is very affordable (around 30 USD) and has simple infrared sensors that gets the reading of these info from the fingertip.
I read a lot of buz when a 800+ USD dive computer has a heart rate monitor which I consider a basic functionality considering how simple it is to measure it but I've never found an oximeter in a dive computer though.
Even though when freediving there's blood shift to the body's core and at greater depths you can squeeze more O2 than at surface, why such device or functionality is not yet available in a dive computer for Freediving with some added calculations / algorithms according to the depth? Couldn't this help to monitor and alert for low levels of oxygen and thus avoid (some) blackouts?
Am I oversimplifying? Is there such thing? Thanks for your opinions/ feedback.
