Abstract
A non-invasive physiological sensor system implemented as a smart watch or other wearable device includes an emitter for emitting light and a detector for collecting light after the light interacts with a tissue of a wearer. The system can measure light intensity at one or more radial distances to estimate attenuation parameter values that can be used to correct physiological parameter bias across subjects. In addition or alternatively, the system can determine whether a detector is positioned sufficiently proximate to an obstructing tissue (for example, an artery or vein) so as to cause inaccurate measurements by the detector.
