Using the iChoice Pulse Oximeter for the Remote Patient Monitoring Program

Pulse Oximeter

WELCOME! Now that you have successfully installed the Life365 Health app and enabled the Bluetooth settings on your smart device you are ready to begin setting up your monitoring devices. We are so glad you have decided to take control of your health with the iChoice Pulse Oximeter included in this package.
What is a Pulse Oximeter?
A pulse oximeter is a small device that clips to your finger and measures how much oxygen is in a person’s blood. People who have a lung or heart condition may use a pulse oximeter at home to check how they are doing, and their results will be read by a health care provider. Low oxygen levels can be an early warning sign that medical care is needed.
