In veterinary medicine, we do use sensors to get pulse and saturation, however they usually have to be veterinary-specific (they are supposedly a bit more reliable) and even then since most patients have fur, to get a reading sometimes gets tricky.

IMHO, being able to enter vitals manually would be a nice first step, because that would mean people using the GNUmed android client would not need to get new hardware or try to get their hardware to talk to GNUmed's android client, and could just measure vitals and then register those manually in the android app... Hope this helps, María --------------PzCHI1CiNRVxfaE1x9k5UysK Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> <pre>Hi Benson!</pre> <pre class="moz-cite-prefix">On 7/1/26 09:37, Benson Muite wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:[email protected]"> <pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Benson Muite <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:[email protected]"><[email protected]></a> writes: Hi Maria, </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <blockquote type="cite"> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre"> I am a veterinarian and not a human medicine doctor, however I think we do have in common that during consultations the baseline physical exam would include taking vitals.
