# Blood Oxygen Sensors This Easy-to-Attach Sensor Monitors the Amount of Oxygen in Your Bloodstream By David Ingram | Published 2015-09-17 | Updated 2015-09-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-oxygen References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/moxy-sensor-blood-oxygen/39448/) & [moxymonitor](http://www.moxymonitor.com/device/) The 'Moxy Monitor' is an easy-to-use device that tracks blood oxygen levels to give athletes a better idea of their level of performance and well-being. Designed to stick against the skin, this small box-shaped monitor uses LED and [light detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molecular-monitoring) to transfer near-infrared light through the skin. Oxygen rich blood absorbs the near-infrared light that enters through the user's muscles, and once bounced back to the device is calculated as an accurate reading of the user's blood oxygen levels. The 'Moxy Monitor' is also designed to be ultra durable and uses a sealed waterproof case that can be used for a variety of physically demanding sports. The monitor also lasts three hours on a single 90 minute charge and can be synced with third party apps and [fitness tracking devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whoop-50). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Athlete Performance Tracking:** The 'Moxy Monitor' presents an opportunity for the development of innovative technologies that track and analyze athletic performance based on blood oxygen levels. - **Wearable Health Monitoring:** The use of blood oxygen sensors in devices like the 'Moxy Monitor' opens up possibilities for the growth of wearable health monitoring systems that provide real-time insights into well-being. - **Sports Technology Advancements:** The integration of blood oxygen sensors in sports equipment and wearable devices like the 'Moxy Monitor' drives disruptive innovations in the sports industry, enabling athletes to optimize their training and performance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sports Performance:** The 'Moxy Monitor' creates new opportunities for companies engaged in the development of technologies and products that enhance sports performance based on blood oxygen level insights. - **Biomedical Devices:** The development and application of blood oxygen sensors, exemplified by the 'Moxy Monitor', presents opportunities for companies in the biomedical device industry to create more accurate and user-friendly monitoring solutions. - **Fitness Technology:** The integration of blood oxygen sensors in fitness tracking devices and apps, as seen in the 'Moxy Monitor', opens doors for companies in the fitness technology industry to offer comprehensive health and performance analysis tools. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Muscle Oxygen-Measuring Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clomp.md) - [Athletic Output-Analyzing Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nnoxx-one.md) - [OTC Oxygen Saturation Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masimo-w1-medical-watch.md) - [Breathing Exercise Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathing-wearable.md) - [Blood Pressure-Tracking Smart Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moov-ring.md) - [Innovative Patient Monitoring Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patient-monitoring-technology.md) - [Headphone-Shaped Vital Signs Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-signs-monitors.md) - [Athletic Sweat-Tracking Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrosense-ai-sweat-sensor.md) - [All-Day Smart Heart Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-frontier-x2.md)
