Join Roots Community Health in the Fight for Accurate Pulse Oximeters
All Patients and health consumers are entitled to devices that are accurate and ensure good health outcomes.
Recent studies, including our own co-authored research, have highlighted the alarming inaccuracies of pulse oximeters when used on individuals with darker skin tones.
These inaccuracies can lead to critical treatment delays, particularly for patients with COVID-19, and contribute to the broader issue of health disparities and medical racism.
The way Roots has evolved has affirmed for me that we are needed here...We will always be Oakland rooted.
Consider supporting Roots today.
Every contribution assists us to fill the gaps we encounter when serving our community, and to fund innovations intended to break the cycle of poverty.
