METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR BIOPHYSICAL SENSING

A method can include attaching a sensor device contained in a sensor structure to a body; sensing motion of the body with at least one motion capacitive sensor of the sensor device that senses a capacitance change resulting from a difference in orientation of the motion capacitive sensor and a surface of the body. If motion of the body is not sensed with the motion capacitive sensor, sensor readings can be acquired with a biophysical sensor that emits signals into a portion of the body below the sensor structure, and generate data for a feature of the body with the sensor readings. If motion of the body is not sensed with the motion capacitive sensor, data for the feature of the body is not generated. Related devices and systems are also disclosed.

Diagnostic system and methods for simultaneously detecting light at multiple detection locations in a spectroscopic system

A device and system for non-invasively measuring wavelength-dependent changes in optical absorption of brain tissue damaged by CTE, TBI, concussion, repetitive trauma, and/or Lou Gehrig's disease in comparison to signals from healthy normal tissue for a subject in vivo. The brain, tissues, and fluids superficial to the brain are trans-cranially illuminated by light source(s) in low-absorption spectral windows for tissue in the visible and/or near-infrared parts of the spectrum. Optode(s) are disposed at predetermined radial distance(s) from a light output to collect the scattered and/or deflected signal from the surface of the head. The predetermined radial distance from the light output to the optode is correlated with the depth of tissue penetration for the light collected by the optode. A spectrometer and computer analyze the collected light for characteristic optical signatures of the brain tissue damage utilizing the absorbance and/or reflectance and/or transmission spectra generated as a result.
