Abstract:
A portable device for determining physiological parameters of a user using ambient light is provided. A first and a second photo detector are used to determine a first signal comprising a first ambient light component and a second signal comprising a second ambient light component along with a modified ambient light component, respectively. The first signal is used to correct the second signal in order to extract the modified ambient light component and determine the physiological parameter on the basis of said modified ambient light component.

Abstract:
A monitoring device configured to be attached to a body of a subject includes a sensor configured to detect and/or measure physiological information from the subject, and at least one actuator that is configured to adjust the stability of the monitoring device relative to the subject body in response to the sensor detecting a change in subject activity, a change in environmental conditions, a change in time, and/or a change in location of the subject.
Abstract:
The main objective of the present invention is to design a compatible and a novel device (100) with reduced form factor to measure and monitor the biological conditions of a living body and communicate it to the remotely connected device. It monitors almost all crucial factors such as hear rate, calorie count, physical activity, sleep, tiredness, posture etc. The device comprises of components that are comfortably packed into a plastic shell that is separated as two lobes along with a pair of permanent magnets to help in firmly positioning the device on the ear. The main components of the device are heart rate monitor, accelerometer, microcontroller and a wireless communication module.

Abstract:
A device (1) for application of a sensor to a measurement site, said device comprising at least one application area (2) enabling the application of the device to a patient's skin (3) is provided. The device comprises an interface (4) for connecting the device to a sensor head, wherein the device has at least a wall arrangement (5) defining an applicator volume above the patient's skin. The wall arrangement comprises a patient's side and a sensor side. At least one gas-permeable membrane (6) separates the applicator volume into a first volume (7) being directed to the measuring site at the patient's side of the wall arrangement (5) and a second volume (8) being separated from the patient's skin and directed to the sensor side of the wall arrangement (5).
Abstract:
An ear sensor provides a sensor body having a base, legs extending from the base and an optical housing disposed at ends of the legs opposite the base. An optical assembly is disposed in the housing. The sensor body is flexed so as to position the housing over a concha site. The sensor body is unflexed so as to attach the housing to the concha site and position the optical assembly to illuminate the concha site. The optical assembly is configured to transmit optical radiation into concha site tissue and receive the optical radiation after attenuation by pulsatile blood flow within the tissue.
Abstract:
A system and method for determining physiological parameters of a patient (117) based on light transmitted through the patient. The light may be transmitted via an emitter (116) and received by a detector array (118) that includes a plurality of detector elements (146). The emitter (116) and the detector (118) may both be located on a flexible substrate (148).
