An optical physiological sensor configured to be secured to a user's nose includes a first prong configured to be positioned proximate an outside portion of the nose, a second prong configured to be positioned proximate an inside portion of the user's nose, a winged portion coupled to the first prong and configured to contact tissue of the user, one or more emitters configured to emit light of one or more wavelengths into the tissue, and one or more detectors configured to detect at least a portion of the light emitted from the one or more emitters after attenuation through at least a portion of the tissue. In some configurations, the winged portion comprises a width that is greater than a width of the second prong. In some configurations, at least a portion of the winged portion is curved toward the second prong.
