How to measure blood oxygen saturation levels with Samsung phone using Samsung Health?

Oxygen saturation is usually shortened to SpO2, which is a measure of the oxygen concentration in the blood. On many Samsung phones, a series of sensors on the back of the phone can be used to measure Spo2 in a method called pulse oximetry, which can emit and absorb light waves through the blood vessels of the finger.

Samsung has further expanded this feature and even removed it completely from many new phones, but if your device still has the function of reading SpO2, you can perform a beneficial health assessment.

You will also display your heart rate in BPM beats per minute, and you can click to read information about what SpO2 is and the appropriate steps to get the most accurate reading.
