Interesting. Is that due to regulations?

Curious: Did the industry ever develop anything from this technology?

We’ve read of incidents with that happening so our company made the rule that one person on the flight deck is wearing a mask.

The breath sensor was for rapid drops for military pilots. Civilian pilots have been using finger oximeters for years.

Garmin makes a watch that has a built in oximeter.
