Abstract: This study outlines the utility of a reflectance pulseoximeter sensor in Wearable Health Monitoring System (WHMS). Pulseoximeter has its own vital role in WHMS as it can provide additional crucial information about the physiological status. This paper discusses the data analysis for ambulatory utility of a reflectance pulseoximeter for variable locations on the body e.g. Finger, forehead, chest. Different physical factors affecting the performance of spo2 sensor are considered and discussed. An experiment simulating ambulation was conducted with Nonin reflectance sensor against standard sensor is capable for its utility in variable motions. We also compared variable locations data against standard positions like Forehead and Fingertip during rest conditions, the outcome of which proved that the Manubrium sternum can be utilized as a site of location for the measurement of spo2 with respect to a single emitter and detector sensor.
