Oximeters and Ventilators for Battling COVID-19
A Jones Seminar with Yasser Khan, postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University.
Oximeters and ventilators are two of the most important medical devices for battling COVID-19. Conventional oximeters use expensive and rigid optoelectronic components that restrict sensing locations to fingertips or earlobes. To address these limitations, we demonstrate an all-organic optoelectronic sensor for transmission- and reflection-mode oximetry. Part two will present a low-cost (<$200), portable (fits in an 8”x8”x4” box), non-invasive ventilator (NIV), designed to provide relief to early-stage COVID-19 patients in low-resource settings.
Yasser Khan is advised by Stanford professors Zhenan Bao in chemical engineering and Boris Murmann in electrical engineering. His research focuses on wearable medical devices, with an emphasis on skin-like soft sensor systems.
