    摘要: A physiological monitor uses a light source and a number of detectors to determine whether a physiological monitor is positioned for acquisition of physiological data. More specifically, an intensity of the light source, as measured at two photodetectors at different distances from the light source, can be used to accurately detect whether the monitor is properly positioned for use. The disclosed methods may advantageously leverage existing physiological monitoring hardware (such as light emitting diodes and photodetectors), and may improve on the accuracy of prior art techniques using, e.g., capacitive sensors and/or other hardware to detect proper device positioning.
