  • Publication number: 20210052223
    Abstract: A device includes a digit probe, a plurality of optical elements, a processor, and a communication module. The digit probe has an interior surface and has an exterior surface. The interior surface is configured to engage a digit and the exterior surface is configured to engage a tissue site associated with the digit. The plurality of optical elements is coupled to at least one of the interior surface and the exterior surface. The plurality of optical elements includes at least one emitter and includes at least one detector. The processor is coupled to the plurality of optical elements. The processor is configured to generate a measure of arterial oxygenation corresponding to the digit and configured to generate a measure of regional oxygenation corresponding to the tissue site. The communication module is coupled to the processor. The communication module is configured to communicate the measure of arterial oxygenation and regional oxygenation with a remote device.

  • Publication number: 20180235526
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for measuring one or more parameters at a tissue site of a patient are disclosed. The system can include a sensor that can be configured to measure a first physiological parameter. The physiological parameter can be associated with oxygenation of arterial blood. A second physiological parameter can be associated with respiration of the patient. The system can include a processor that can be configured to use the first and second physiological parameters to determine a waveform associated with the oxygenation of the arterial blood, and the processor can be configured to compensate for a signal artifact associated with motion of the tissue site.

  • Patent number: 9173965
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a source and a detector. The source is operable to transmit light. The detector is operable to receive at least a portion of the light transmitted by the source. The source and the detector can be positioned on a nail of a digit such that the light enters the nail through an entrance region. The light further exits the nail through an exit region. The entrance region is defined by a lateral portion of the nail. The light is directed to interact with at least one analyte.
