I lost my O2 ring- is there a smart ring that works with OSCAR?

My saga continues- thanks for looking. I have severe SA and used a Resmed 11 until I had open heart surgery [replaced aortic valve with bypass] and could not use cpap in hospital, they say bring it but do not utilize it or know anything about it, and after recovery and rehab did not go back to it.
My 30 year sweetie sez that after the open heart surgery, I no longer have the sputtering apnia's that I had before and who would not like that to be true? Anyway I had a lot of mental issues [symptoms similar to long COVID] and dead tired all the time. Started wearing my O2 ring [not from the ozzie] and my ring is set to vibrate at 85% saturation- went off a lot so I went back to the cpap so I could load the Ox and pulse data.

I am the king of run-on sentences BTW. I lowered my upper limits slowly from 18 to 10 without any effect other than leakage improving. My AHI runs from 1-3 mostly, very occasionally a 4 or 5 but not often. I have appointments with my Cardiologist [in person] and a new Pulminogist who also is a sleep doctor. My original sleep clinic has been Very uncommunicative all along. So- is there a smart ring that communicates with Oscar? Thank you... I think i underlined the actual question... I need to document my O2 with Oscar to show the doctors what I believe to be the issue and would like a smart ring to wear constantly- the O2 ring 'might' last two nights without charging.

I am not sure if this is coherent or not- I am confused most of the day. Gene

Here is a list of pulse-oximeters that are support by Oscar - https://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.p ... _Oximeters

Thank you, CG. I found that list as well- this design is quite old, I was hoping for an updated product. Hope springs eternal, it is what keeps me going. Gene
