With the series 6 Apple Watch, you can now get a measure of your SP02, hemoglobin content in your blood oxygen. The health app on the iPhone shows you all the measurements in the Respiratory section. This is a critical component for COVID patients.

I have not been able to find anyway to access this information programatically.

I have checked all HKObjectTypes in the latest Apple documentation. Is this information currently available to iOS developers?

Any information would be of great use as several researchers are requesting this data for their clinical research.

Did you see this Apple engineer's answer in another thread ?

You can use HealthKit and have your app request access to the Blood Oxygen data (HKQuantityTypeIdentifierOxygenSaturation)
You can find out more about the HealthKit framework here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit
