Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for mounting optical sensors in physiological monitoring devices worn by a user to sense, measure, and/or display physiological information. Optical sensors may be mounted in the rear face of the device, emit light proximate a targeted area of a user's body, and detect light reflected from the targeted area. The optical sensor may be mounted in a housing or caseback such that at least a portion of the optical sensor protrudes a distance from at least a portion of the housing. The protrusion distance may be adjustable such that a user may achieve a customized fit of the wearable device. Adjustment of the protrusion distance may also result in a customized level of contact and/or pressure between the optical sensor and the targeted area which may, in turn, result in more reliable and accurate sensing of physiological information.

Claim (Index 16):
A device for sensing a physiological parameter of a user, the apparatus comprising:\n a base portion; an optical sensor comprising a light source and an optical detector, the optical sensor configured for placement adjacent the user's wrist; and an adjustment ring comprising a radially inner surface for receiving the optical sensor, the adjustment ring further comprising an annular lip extending radially inward from the radially inner surface and a radially outer surface threaded with a portion of the caseback, the optical sensor being urged against the annular lip of the adjustment ring such that the optical sensor moves outward from the base portion upon rotation of the adjustment ring in a first direction with respect to the base portion.
