Hi, you might look into the modern Smart watches Teddy. My 5 year old Fitbit records heartbeat, steps, calories used, pulse and sleep . It has an App for phone and my Samsung tablet so I can look back at past weeks & months ...... these gadgets have come on leaps & bounds in last few years.

I use a oxi meter named jumper. It works with smartphones an is easy to use. Got it from Amazon. Forgot the price but I think it was below £40.

I have a withings watch that has the app on my phone and tablet to see my pulse/O2/ sleep etc. I have a salter finger oxi meter that I check reads the same as the nurses or any health person I see when they use theirs on me. So far it's been spot on. One nurse said don't trust the watches 😆 mine is a couple of numbers away from the finger one.

There is an app called Oximeter for the iPhone that uses the phones flash to read levels and it stores info too. Not sure how accurate it is - I use it occasionally but I have oximeters too.

Thank you everyone for advice and information. I currently use the finger oximeter . My thinking was if it was one that recorded the readings it would be easier to show the nurse etc.I appreciate everyone taking the time to reply.

I use Apple Watch 7 which will do blood O2 level on demand, most of the time it did give a similar result to the one attached to my finger though great difference in price! I wanted it for other issues too

I rarely use my Oximeter now after realising I was becoming paranoid. I found myself using it about 7 or 8 times a day to no useful purpose. The reading varied by only a few % . The same goes for a flow meter I had ..it became ‘ Peak flow’ contest. I’ve had COPD. ( emphysema ) 40 years now, I’m 86 and just accept my worsening condition. So far I’m not on O2 so I can’t speak for those who are and use these gadgets.
