A plurality of modules are simultaneously positioned at locations that correspond to different angiosomes. Each of these modules has a front surface shaped and dimensioned for contacting a person's skin, a plurality of different-wavelength light sources aimed in a forward direction, and a plurality of light detectors aimed to detect light arriving from in front of the front surface. Each module is supported by a support structure (e.g., a strap or a clip) that is shaped and dimensioned to hold the front surface adjacent to the person's skin at a respective position. Perfusion in each of the angiosomes is monitored using these modules, and the surgeon can rely on this information to guide his or her intervention.

Bio-potentials are sensed on the skin of a subject. The bio-potentials include muscle bio-potentials, and nerve bio-potentials. Skin sensors are positioned to enable the sensing circuitry to emphasize the nerve bio-potentials and deemphasize the muscle bio-potentials in processed bio-potential signals generated by the sensing circuitry. A machine learning component identifies control sequences or tracks body motions based on the processed bio-potential signals.

A foot-based wearable system disposed proximate to the dorsalis pedis artery can detect cardiac and muscular activities. Utilizing flexible iontronic sensing (FITS) technology, a sensing array detects both cardiovascular functions, such as heart rate, ECG, and respiration and motion artifact signals with a spatial reference to muscular activities based on the orientation of the array. Individual tendon responses are analyzed and correlated to different pedal gestures, from which multi-channel signals can be used to distinguish different activities. Wearable articles of the invention include a platform to simultaneously analyze both vital signals and body activities from the cardiac waveforms and muscular responses in a natural and unnoticeable fashion. The data-collecting wearable system provides a means to assess personalized health and daily activities on a continuous basis.

A congenital heart disease monitor utilizes a sensor capable of emitting multiple wavelengths of optical radiation into a tissue site and detecting the optical radiation after attenuation by pulsatile blood flowing within the tissue site. A patient monitor is capable of receiving a sensor signal corresponding to the detected optical radiation and calculating at least one physiological parameter in response. The physiological parameter is measured at a baseline site and a comparison site and a difference in these measurements is calculated. A potential congenital heart disease condition in indicated according to the measured physiological parameter at each of the sites or the calculated difference in the measured physiological parameter between the sites or both.
