Abstract
A physiological sensor includes a sensing element to detect physiological information from a patient's skin, a substrate configured to hold the sensing element on the patient's skin, and at least two contact probes on the substrate. The contact probes are positioned on the substrate such that galvanically contact the patient's skin when the substrate is fully attached against the patient's skin. A controller is configured to measure impedance between the at least two contact probes and determine whether the substrate has lifted from the patient's skin based on the impedance.
