Abstract:
1. A physiological monitoring system, comprising: a light source; a plurality of optical waveguide couplers, each of the plurality of optical waveguide couplers being arranged at a different predetermined spatial location on an ocular insert configured for placement on an eye; a plurality of optical waveguides, each optical waveguide configured to carry light from the light source to a respective one of the plurality of optical waveguide couplers and further configured to carry a received signal from the respective one of the plurality of optical waveguide couplers; and a processor configured to receive the received signal from each of the plurality of optical waveguides and to monitor a parameter based on associating the received signals from the plurality of optical waveguide couplers with a respective spatial location of the eye in relation to the different predetermined spatial location of the optical wave guide couplers.
