A pulse oximetry device is provided that fixates generally around a user's wrist. The device may include one or more mechanical features that fix the device at, for example, a distal end of a wearer's ulna bone. The device may include one or more projections formed from a suitable material (e.g., elastomer such as silicon) that cause the device to fit snugly against the wearer's wrist and remain in place even when the wearer is moving, thus reducing motion artifacts in signals detected by the device. The device may include one or more mechanical features or fins that reduce ambient or stray light in the measurement area. The device may include one or more detectors, and one or more light sources, each having a different axis resulting from the manner in which each is angled toward a virtual center point of the distal end of a wearer's ulna bone.

Wrist-sensor pulse oximetry device and method

Sensors case for watch

A wearable pulse oximetry device and associated methods are provided. In some embodiments, the device includes at least two light sources having different wavelengths and at least one detector responsive to the different wavelengths. The device also includes a structure adapted to fixate at a distal end of the wearer's ulna bone at a fixated area. The light sources having different wavelengths and the at least one detector are fixed within, or adjacent to, the structure such that when the structure fixates at the fixated area the light sources and the at least one detector are positioned adjacent to the distal end of the ulna, and the at least one detector is positioned to detect light emitted from the at least two light sources.

Wearable pulse oximetry device

A pulse oximetry device that is mounted on a wrist strap and fixates an area above a distal end of the ulna with a dome shaped structure. This area is used as measuring area. The measurement is carried out by a detector positioned above the fixated area, that detects light emitted by light sources having different wave lengths that are located at a periphery of the fixated area. Hence, the reflections are measured at neither a reflection mode nor a transmission mode, but are at an angle between 20&#xb0; and 160&#xb0; from the emitted light. This mode, termed trans-illumination, allows achieving an excellent signal to noise ratio that for the first time enables continuous and reliable measurement of oximetry data on the wrist.

A system and method for measuring one or more light-absorption related blood analyte concentration parameters of a mammalian subject, is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises: a) a photoplethysmography (PPG) device configured to effect a PPG measurement by illuminating skin of the subject with at least two distinct wavelengths of light and determining relative absorbance at each of the wavelengths; b) a dynamic light scattering measurement (DLS) device configured to effect a DLS measurement of the subject to rheologically measure a pulse parameter of the subject; and c) electronic circuitry configured to: i) temporally correlating the results of the PPG and DLS measurements; and ii) accordance with the temporal correlation between the PPG and DLS measurements, assessing value(s) of the one or more light-absorption related blood analyte concentration parameter(s).

Photoplethysmography device and method

A submerged planar illumination device for providing specified, substantially uniform distribution of light in liquid from one or few light sources such as LED. The device comprises a light guiding plate having an entrance edge to which the LEDs are fixed, a collimator for redirecting the light and forming substrate light which is coupled to a light guiding plate having at least one light extracting surface. Light extracting surface are optionally on both large surfaces of the light guiding plate. Each light extracting surface is covered with a pattern of light extracting and scattering elements capable of collecting, scattering and extracting light propagating in the light guiding plate into the liquid ambient medium in which the device is submerged. A cover, sealed to the entrance edge of the light guiding plate, protects the light emitting element from the liquid ambient medium.
