The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip including a semiconductor layer and a photodetector disposed along the semiconductor layer. A color filter is over the photodetector. A micro-lens is over the color filter. A dielectric structure comprising one or more dielectric layers is over the micro-lens. A receptor layer is over the dielectric structure. An optical signal enhancement structure is disposed along the dielectric structure and between the receptor layer and the micro-lens.

A smart ring includes a curved housing having a U-shape interior storing components including: a curved battery approximately conforming to the curved housing, a semi-flexible PCB approximately conforming to the curved housing and having mounted theron: a motion sensor for generating motion data from physical perturbations of the smart ring, a memory for storing executable instructions, a transceiver for sending data to a client computer, a temperature sensor, and a processor for receiving motion data and performing executable instructions in response thereto, and a potting material disposed in the interior, forming an interior wall of the smart ring, wherein the potting material encapsulates the components and is substantially transparent to visible light, infrared light, and/or ultraviolet light.

On-body analyte sensors may be designed for extended wear to provide ongoing measurement of physiological analyte levels. However, on-body analyte sensors may be susceptible to damage or dislodgment during wear due to routine interactions that occur with one's surroundings. Guard rings may be adapted to protect on-body analyte sensors from such interactions. Guard rings may comprise an annular body comprising an inner perimeter face, an outer perimeter face, a top edge, and a bottom face adapted for contacting a tissue surface. The inner perimeter face is shaped to circumferentially surround a sensor housing of an on-body analyte sensor. At least a portion of the outer perimeter face defines a chamfered surface extending between the top face and the bottom face. Adhesive pads or strips may further be engaged with the guard rings and aid in securing the guard rings to a surface, such as skin.

Disclosed are a probe for photoacoustic measurement which can suppress generation of artifacts obstructive to signal observation in a photoacoustic measurement, and a photoacoustic measurement apparatus including the same. The probe for photoacoustic measurement includes a light emission unit which emits measurement light to a subject, and an acoustic wave detection unit which detects a photoacoustic wave generated in the subject by the emission of measurement light. An emission end surface of the light emission unit is positioned to a side where the acoustic wave detection unit is located, with respect to a contact plane of the probe, and an optical axis at the emission end surface is inclined to a side opposite to the side on which the acoustic wave detection unit is positioned with respect to a normal direction of a detection surface of the acoustic wave detection unit.

An integrated window for a photosensor for use in an electronic device has first and second transparent regions separated by an opaque region. The first transparent region allows a transmitter to emit light out of the housing of the electronic device and the second transparent region allows a receiver to receive light through the housing. The opaque region is disposed between the first and second transparent regions to isolate them from one another such that the transmitted light is isolated from the received light.

A system is provided for advanced health monitoring and diagnosis based on wearable nano-biosensing networks. Nanophotonic and wireless communication technologies are synergistically leveraged to bridge the gap between nano-biosensing technologies and commercial wearable devices. Embodiments of the presently-disclosed system may include: (1) a nanoplasmonic biochip, implanted subcutaneously and built on a flexible substrate; (2) a nanophotonic smart band or wearable device that is able to collect in-vivo signals on-demand and relay them wirelessly to the user's smartphone by means of a secure data transfer; and (3) advanced signal processing techniques implemented on a remote processor to extract relevant data from the received signals and provide a diagnosis in real-time.
