AB  - Oxygen  saturation  levels  are  routinely  monitoredin  clinical  settings.  Pulse  oximetry,  in  transmittance  operationmode,  is  the  most  common  method  of  estimating  oxygen  satu-ration  (SpO2).  This  is  inexpensive  and  non-invasive  and  thusallows for long-term monitoring. However, it suffers from issuessuch  as  signal  integrity,  reliability  and  patient  comfortability.As a result, there is an interest in exploring other locations onthe body where oxygen saturation can be measured reliably. Inthis  paper,  a  wearable  device  has  been  designed  to  study  thefeasibility  of  extracting  photoplethysmogram  (PPG)  signals  atthe  neck  in  reflectance  pulse  oximetry  mode.  It  explores  thesignal  integrity  and  strength  compared  to  other  locations  aswell  as  the  presence  of  motion  artefacts  in  that  location.  Theresults demonstrate that the PPG signals acquired at the neckshow  a  very  strong  correlation  (r=0.82)  with  the  SpO2valuesobtained using a commercial device. Further, the SpO2valuesare  calculated  with an  accuracy  of  98.6%.
