  • Publication number: 20210369204
    Abstract: A wearable gear for holding a physiological sensor for monitoring a subject, such as a pulse oximeter. Said wearable gear being configured to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part of the subject. The wearable gear comprises a tensioning element having a maximal length, a holding unit for holding the physiological sensor, the wearable gear further comprises a tension mechanism for tensioning the tensioning element to a predefined tension when at least partially around a body part of the subject, wherein the tension mechanism comprises i) a first part comprising a resilient material, and ii) a second part comprising a non-resilient material, and wherein the first part and the second part mechanically cooperate with each other to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part.

  • Patent number: 11134894
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for measuring a physiological parameter of a human limb such as peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. The device comprises a body comprising a first body part and a second body part, which are movable relative to each other to define an opening with an adjustable size for receiving the limb therein, and a physiological sensor for interacting with the limb received in the opening, the sensor being attached to the body, wherein the first and second body parts are slidable or twistable relative to each other while at least partially engaging or intersecting each other, or wherein the first and second body parts are configured to form a clip having an L-shaped end section for at least partially enclosing the limb received in the opening, in order to adjust the size of the opening.

  • Patent number: 11090004
    Abstract: A wearable gear (100) for holding a physiological sensor for monitoring a subject, such as a pulse oximeter. Said wearable gear being configured to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part of the subject. The wearable gear comprises a tensioning element (102) having a maximal length, a holding unit for holding the physiological sensor, the wearable gear further comprises a tension mechanism for tensioning the tensioning element to a predefined tension when at least partially around a body part of the subject, wherein the tension mechanism comprises i) a first part comprising a resilient material, and ii) a second part comprising a non-resilient material, and wherein the first part and the second part mechanically cooperate with each other to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part.

  • Publication number: 20190224496
    Abstract: A sensor system, for use in a phototherapy system for treatment of neonatal jaundice, designed to harvest energy from the phototherapy system. The sensor system is wirelessly connected to the phototherapy system and provides measurements of the total serum bilirubin levels of the infant. The continuous measurement of the total serum bilirubin allows the phototherapy system to personalize the treatment of each infant, minimizing any unwanted side effects of the phototherapy. The energy harvesting performed by the sensor removes the need to manually replace or recharge batteries, which may disturb the infant during treatment, and may enable the sensor system to operate without an energy storage device, such as a battery, altogether.
