A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Additionally, the claimed infringement relates to the fact that it's reflective pulse oximetry using three or more sensors. Your Garmin and old Apple watch aren't infringing because they use two sensors. I think the patent in its current state should not have been granted. It would be like patenting the placement of three or more CPU sockets on motherboards that fit in a certain rack size.
