Abstract:
A non-invasive, optical-based physiological monitoring system is disclosed. One embodiment includes an emitter configured to emit light. A diffuser is configured to receive and spread the emitted light, and to emit the spread light at a tissue measurement site. The system further includes a concentrator configured to receive the spread light after it has been attenuated by or reflected from the tissue measurement site. The concentrator is also configured to collect and concentrate the received light and to emit the concentrated light to a detector. The detector is configured to detect the concentrated light and to transmit a signal representative of the detected light. A processor is configured to receive the transmitted signal and to determine a physiological parameter, such as, for example, arterial oxygen saturation, in the tissue measurement site.

Claim (Index 67):
A method of measuring a physiological parameter in a user's blood, the method comprising:\n emitting, from a plurality of emitters of a physiological monitoring device, light of one or more wavelengths toward a tissue measurement site located on a wrist of the user, wherein the plurality of emitters comprise one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the one or more wavelengths comprises at least an infrared wavelength; detecting, with a plurality of detectors, the light emitted by the plurality of emitters after attenuation through tissue of the user at the tissue measurement site, wherein the plurality of detectors comprise one or more photodiodes; and providing a light block forming an enclosing wall between the light emitted from the plurality of emitters at the tissue measurement site and the plurality of detectors when the physiological monitoring device is worn by the user, wherein the wall prevents at least a portion of light emitted from the plurality of emitters from being detected by the plurality of detectors without attenuation by the tissue; outputting, from the plurality of detectors, at least one signal responsive to the detected light; receiving, by a processor, the outputted at least one signal responsive to the detected light; and processing, by the processor, the received at least one signal responsive to the detected light to determine a physiological parameter.
