Oxygen saturation measure frequency #600

How often could we have CarKit get data for Oxygen saturation? How often can the Apple Watch measure Oxygen saturation to report in CareKit?

CareKit can receive oxygen saturation measurements as often as they are recorded into HealthKit. The AppleWatch Series 6 will automatically capture some measurements throughout the day when opportunities present themself, but there is not a way to guarantee when or how often it will happen.

CareKit can also receive manual measurements whenever the user performs them. If you need measurements to be taken at certain times of the day, then I would recommend that you schedule an OCKTask that prompts the user to do so. Careful use of local notifications or a widget may also be helpful for prompting participants to take manual measurements.
