![One of the many medical uses for TracePro is validating designs for blood oximeter pulse monitors. The monitors measure oxygen in the blood by observing how light travels through the fingertip. blood oxygen monitor on hand](/sites/default/files/styles/search_/public/2020-08/ip_17_web_3.jpg?itok=_ZDqCDZE)

![Disposable hearing aid batteries die unpredictably, which tends to encourage users to turn them off at times to conserve power and inevitably leaves them without hearing at inconvenient times. On a full charge, the rechargeable silver-zinc batteries that ZPower built off of previous research and development by NASA and the military reliably last all day and then some.
