Yes, the phone oximeter is written in Gambit-C, with an OpenGL based user interface and some minimal platform specific glue. The app is meant to be a low cost alternative to expensive standalone monitors.. it's a fairly complete implementation, with real-time plethysmogram, oxygen saturation and heart rate trends, saturation pitched heart beat sound and alarms (audible and visual).
Gambit-C is really great as a rapid prototyping environment (thanks Marc!), it's robust and extremely portable. The framework used for the oximeter app builds on iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linux.

A user named Chrisp added a line to the "Real-world software and services" wiki page that seems to imply that the "PhoneOximeter",
an iPhone app to measure real-time oxygen levels being developed at the University of British Columbia, is written in Gambit-C.
I googled "Gambit" on phoneoximeter.org but found nothing that would confirm this. If it's true, I find it quite exciting. My question is: Is my interpretation of this wiki change correct?

Yes that's cool! I couldn't find any other information myself. Perhaps a query on the Gambit list will ring in some more details...
