Abstract: Provided according to embodiments of the invention are systems for monitoring a physiological state of an individual that include a PPG sensor, which optionally includes an auxiliary physiological sensor integrated with or connected thereto; a first signal processing device in electronic communication with the PPG sensor, whereby the PPG sensor transmits PPG signals to the first signal processing device; and a second signal processing device that detects at least a portion of the signals transmitted by the PPG sensor to the first signal processing device, at least a portion of signals transmitted by the auxiliary physiological sensor, or both. Related methods are also provided herein.

Abstract: Provided according to embodiments of the present invention are pulse oximetry systems that include a pulse oximeter sensor, and a probe identification circuit that includes a thermistor. The probe identification circuit may be part of or associated with the pulse oximeter sensor.
Abstract: Provided according to embodiments of the invention are photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, systems and methods of using the same. In some embodiments of the invention, methods of obtaining a photoplethysmography (PPG) signals include securing a PPG sensor onto a nasal columella of an individual; and obtaining a PPG signal from the PPG sensor.
Abstract: A wireless time-of-flight distance measurement device and/or a motion detector is used at each of a plurality of stations in a wireless network in an enclosed facility to accurately locate a badge-wearing person near the station. The location, badge number and time of detection are transmitted through the network and stored in a computer memory. In a health care facility, hand-washing detectors are located at some of the stations and caused to energize a hand-wash status indicator light on the badge when the wearer has washed his or her hands. The light remains “on” for only a certain length of time, but will be extinguished sooner by a monitor device near each patient when the health care worker leaves the vicinity of the patient. These events also are transmitted and stored so that a timed record of each worker's hand-washing and visits to patients is created.
