  • Patent number: 12364403
    Abstract: A wearable device for a noninvasive measurement of a user's body temperature can include a housing, a first substrate coupled to the housing and having an opening, a second substrate coupled to the first substrate and configured to secure to skin of a user, a mounting frame enclosed by the housing and the first substrate, a circuit board secured by the mounting frame, a temperature sensor coupled to the circuit board and configured to determine a body temperature of the user, and a thermally conductive probe. The thermally conductive probe is secured by the mounting frame and positioned proximate to the first temperature sensor. The thermally conductive probe extends at least partially through the opening in the first substrate and transmits a thermal energy from a portion of the user's skin to the first temperature sensor.

  • Patent number: 12357237
    Abstract: A regional oximetry system comprises a pod having a pod housing defining a sensor end and an opposite monitor end. A dual sensor connector is in electrical communication with the sensor end of the pod housing. A monitor connector is in electrical communication with the monitor end of the pod housing. An analog board is disposed within the pod housing and is in electrical communications with the dual sensor connector. The analog board receives and digitizes sensor signals from at least one optical sensor plugged into the dual sensor connector. A digital board is disposed within the pod housing and in electrical communications with the analog board and the monitor connector.

  • Publication number: 20240298970
    Abstract: An physiological measurement device provides a device body having a base, legs extending from the base and an optical housing disposed at ends of the legs opposite the base. An optical assembly is disposed in the housing. The device body is flexed so as to position the housing over a tissue site. The device body is unflexed so as to attach the housing to the tissue site and position the optical assembly to illuminate the tissue site. The optical assembly is configured to transmit optical radiation into tissue site tissue and receive the optical radiation after attenuation by pulsatile blood flow within the tissue.
