A biomagnetic measurement system includes a magnetism measurement apparatus configured to measure a magnetism of a target; and an electrical stimulation apparatus configured to apply a stimulation current to the target. The magnetism measurement apparatus includes a confirming unit configured to confirm a magnitude of an artifact caused by the stimulation current. The electrical stimulation apparatus is configured to output a compensation current for reducing the artifact after the stimulation current is output, based on information from the confirming unit.

The invention provides a pulse oximetry sensor for attachment to the lower half of the palm or the ulnar edge of the palm. The sensor may be portable, untethered and in some instances, disposable. The features of the sensor make it effective in stable, chronic or emergency medical settings.

An endoscopic system can include an endoscope shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and an electrically active sensor system including at least one sensor mounted proximate the distal end and positioned to sense at least one characteristic of an environment in which the distal end is located. The capacitance of the sensor system relative to earth ground maintains current leakage to a level that meets a cardiac float rating.
