Skin Pigmentation clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Skin pigmentation is how dark or light the skin is because of melanin. UCSF is testing whether pulse oximeters give the same oxygen numbers across different skin tones during low oxygen. The tests compare device readings with blood oxygen measures.

  • Pulse Oximeter Accuracy in Healthy Humans During Hypoxia

    open to eligible people ages 18-50

    The aim of this project is to test the accuracy of pulse oximeters during mild, moderate and severe hypoxia. This is done by comparing the reading of the pulse oximeter during brief, steady state hypoxia with a gold-standard measurement of blood oxygen. This study will be done on healthy male or females between the age group of 18-50.
