摘要:
In a method and apparatus (400), a property of an optically diffuse medium comprising a first optical absorber having a first concentration and a second optical absorber having a second concentration is determined. A surface area (406) of the medium is imaged at multiple wavelengths around an isosbestic wavelength of the first absorber and the second absorber. A reflectance spectrum of the medium at the surface area at the multiple wavelengths is determined. A derivative of the determined reflectance spectrum around the isosbestic wavelength is determined. From the derivative, a concentration ratio of the first concentration and the second concentration is estimated.

The present invention describes breathable multilayered adhesive structures that can be used as adhesives to mount devices onto the skin. The breathable multilayered adhesive structures can comprise moisture-wicking layers adhered to the skin by a porous adhesion layer. The pores allow moisture released from the skin to be transferred away through the moisture-wicking layer. The adhesive structures permit the devices to be skin-mounted for an extended period of time (e.g., a few hours or days) without causing moisture-associated skin injuries such as erythema, maceration, and irritation or inflammation.

Systems, methods and devices for recognizing user activity using data from accelerometer or other sensors. "Feature-based" approach and "model- based" approaches are described, in a feature-based approach, various values are extracted from input signals and projected onto a space that is selected to facilitate better segregation of data points. Classifiers identify the regions in this projected space in which the data points fall to distinguish between the different activity types. In a "model-based" approach, a generative model is trained for each activity type. Different activity types can be distinguished by identifying similarities between the input data with the generative models.

Devices and methods useful for sensing epidermal tissue are disclosed. Thermal data from the devices allows for determination of thermal transport properties, such as thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity per unit volume. From these data, tissue parameters, such as hydration state, stratum corneum thickness, epidermis thickness and vasculature structure may be determined. These parameters may be used, for example, to evaluate the efficacy of dermatological compounds.
