Huang Yongguang, vice chairman of Sino Group and director of Huang Tingfang Charity Foundation, pointed out that the epidemic has brought serious challenges to children and the elderly.
The elderly have the lowest vaccination rates and are the highest risk group.
Oximeters provide vital data on health conditions, helping to detect abnormalities early and provide timely medical care to the elderly, saving lives.
The oximeter is easy to use, and if the elderly feel unwell, they can monitor the blood oxygen level several times a day.
