Claim 8:
9. A flexible oximeter device, comprising:
a first N×M array of first light emitting elements configured to emit only red light;
a second N×M array of second light emitting elements, wherein each second light emitting element is configured to emit only green light or near-infrared (NIR); and
a third array of 2*N*M sensing elements, each sensing element being configured to detect red and green light or red and NIR light and to output a signal representing an amount of red or green or NIR light detected, wherein N and M are each equal to or greater than 1;
wherein the first array, the second array and the third array are arranged on at least one flexible substrate in an interleaved manner forming a (2N−1)×(2M−1) array of interleaved measurement pixels, wherein each said measurement pixel comprising consists of one of said first light emitting elements and a corresponding sensing element, and one of said second light emitting elements and a different corresponding sensing element.
