Abstract: A clip sensor device for optical measuring vital signs of a subject is provided. The clip sensor device includes a internal supporting frame formed from an elongated plate configured to be folded into a desired orientation. A measuring probe is mounted on an upper surface of the frame. The measuring probe comprises a transmitter and receiver and configured for generating a time response of the blood perfused body tissue to the applied optical signal that is indicative of the vital signs of the subject. The clip sensor device also includes a pressing member mounted on the upper surface of the internal supporting frame. The pressing member includes one or more spring elements configured to provide a predetermined pressure on the blood perfused body tissue due to the deformation of the spring elements when said portion of blood perfused body tissue is applied against the pressing member.
