Pandemic Accelerated Human-Machine Collaboration (PACMAN): a framework for pulse oximeter digit detection and reading in a low-resource setting
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients were required to manually input their daily oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) values into a health monitoring system—unfortunately, such a process trend to be an error in typing. Several studies attempted to detect the physiological value from the captured image using optical character recognition (OCR). However, the technology has limited availability with high cost. In low-resource settings, where access to advanced medical equipment is limited, the accurate detection and reading of pulse oximeters can be challenging. To address this issue, a groundbreaking framework called PACMAN has been developed. (Read More)
