  • Patent number: 9462979
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for measuring and determining physiological parameters of a patient are presented. In one example, a physiological measurement system includes a physiological sensor system configured to detect a physiological signal representative of one or more physiological parameters associated with a patient. The measurement system also includes a capacitance system configured to apply one or more electric field signals to the patient and determine a capacitance signal. The measurement system also includes a processing system configured to reduce a noise level in the physiological signal based on at least the capacitance signal.

  • Patent number: 10314546
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for measuring and determining physiological parameters of a patient are presented. In one example, a physiological measurement system includes an optical system configured to emit one or more optical signals into tissue of a patient, and detect the one or more optical signals after propagation through the tissue. The physiological measurement system includes a capacitance system configured to apply one or more electric field signals to a single side of the tissue to determine a capacitance signal based at least on changes in the one or more electric field signals, and a processing system configured to process at least the one or more detected optical signals and the capacitance signal to determine a physiological parameter of the patient.
