PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT
Optical finger pulse-oximetry does not fully account for individual-specific anatomy or hemodynamics,
leading to possible inequalities in care due to skin-tone biases. Specifically, there is growing evidence that
conventional pulse-oximetry methods have a positive bias for dark versus lighter-skinned patients, mean-
