Skin Pigmentation clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Skin pigmentation is the natural coloring of your skin. UCSF is researching how pulse oximeters operate during various oxygen levels in humans. The study looks at whether these devices give accurate results for people with different skin colors.
Pulse Oximeter Accuracy in Healthy Humans During Hypoxia
open to eligible people ages 21-50
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.
