    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide an adjustable sensor support structure for optimal skin contact. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensor units arranged on a band such that the sensor array straddles or otherwise addresses a blood vessel when worn on a measurement site of a user; and a pressure exertion apparatus attached between the sensor units and the band that exerts outward pressure on the sensor units towards the measurement site causing the sensor units to maintain contact with skin of the user independent of motion activity of the band, thereby improving contact quality, wherein the pressure exertion apparatus comprises at least one of: a flexible bridge structure, a flexible foam structure, and a sensor trampoline structure.
