    Abstract: A sensor system, for use in a phototherapy system for treatment of neonatal jaundice, designed to harvest energy from the phototherapy system. The sensor system is wirelessly connected to the phototherapy system and provides measurements of the total serum bilirubin levels of the infant. The continuous measurement of the total serum bilirubin allows the phototherapy system to personalize the treatment of each infant, minimizing any unwanted side effects of the phototherapy. The energy harvesting performed by the sensor removes the need to manually replace or recharge batteries, which may disturb the infant during treatment, and may enable the sensor system to operate without an energy storage device, such as a battery, altogether.

    Abstract: A wearable gear for holding a physiological sensor for monitoring a subject, such as a pulse oximeter. Said wearable gear being configured to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part of the subject. The wearable gear comprises a tensioning element having a maximal length, a holding unit for holding the physiological sensor, the wearable gear further comprises a tension mechanism for tensioning the tensioning element to a predefined tension when at least partially around a body part of the subject, wherein the tension mechanism comprises i) a first part comprising a resilient material, and ii) a second part comprising a non-resilient material, and wherein the first part and the second part mechanically cooperate with each other to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part.
