The present disclosure relates to a handheld device for optoacoustic imaging of an object and a corresponding method comprising an irradiation unit configured for irradiating the object with electromagnetic radiation, for example light, and a detector unit for detecting acoustic, for example ultrasonic, waves which are generated in the object upon irradiation with electromagnetic radiation.

In order to facilitate three-dimensional multispectral imaging in real-time, which allows not only imaging of dynamic anatomical, functional and molecular phenomena in the object but also avoids multiple motion- and limited-view-related image artifacts and thus facilitates quantitative image acquisition, in some embodiments, the detector unit comprises a two-dimensional array of a plurality of detector elements which may be arranged along a first surface.

Glasses that are provided with biosensors for detecting signals and are in contact with the user's head are described, which glasses comprise a front frame (2) for supporting respective lenses (4), a pair of sides (6) articulated to the frame (2) on laterally opposing sides, and a nasal-bearing device (8), a pair of sensors (10a, 11a) being integrated in the nasal-bearing device (8) in order to make contact with the surface of the nose, a third sensor (12) being mounted in the centre of the nasal-bearing device (8) in order to make contact with the surface of the face in the zone of the bridge of the nose, and each of the sides (6) comprising a side body (6a) extending into an end side portion in which a particular sensor that makes contact with the head is integrated.

Provided herein are the systems, methods, components for a three-dimensional tomography system. The system is a dual-modality imaging system that incorporates a laser ultrasonic system and a laser optoacoustic system. The dual-modality imaging system generates tomographic images of a volume of interest in a subject body based on speed of sound, ultrasound attenuation and/or ultrasound backscattering and for generating optoacoustic tomographic images of distribution of the optical absorption coefficient in the subject body based on absorbed optical energy density or various quantitative parameters derivable therefrom. Also provided is a method for increasing contrast, resolution and accuracy of quantitative information obtained within a subject utilizing the dual-modality imaging system. The method comprises producing an image of an outline boundary of a volume of interest and generating spatially or temporally coregistered images based on speed of sound and/or ultrasonic attenuation and on absorbed optical energy within the outlined volume.

The present invention discloses a holder carrying thereon a sensor to measure a physiological signal of an analyte in a biological fluid, wherein the sensor has a signal detection end and a signal output end, and the holder includes an implantation hole being a channel for implanting the sensor and containing a part of the sensor, a containing indentation containing the signal output end, a fixing indentation fixing thereto the sensor and communicating with the containing indentation, a waterproof seal disposed above the implantation hole, an elastic divider disposed in the implantation hole to separate the implantation hole and covering all over a cross-sectional area of the implantation hole, and a blocking element disposed between the implantation hole and the fixing indentation to hold the sensor.

A temperature measurement system for measuring a temperature of a measured surface includes: 1) a first temperature sensor; and 2) a reference surface including a second temperature sensor integrated therein. The first temperature sensor includes a field of view simultaneously covering both at least a portion of the measured surface and at least a portion of the reference surface, thus is configured for simultaneously taking a first measurement of both the portion of the measured surface and the portion of the reference surface. The first measurement of the reference surface taken by the first temperature sensor is compared to a second measurement taken by the second temperature sensor for use in calibrating the first temperature sensor.

Various analyte sensing apparatuses and associated housings are provided. Some apparatuses comprise one or more caps. Some apparatuses comprise a two-part adhesive patch. Some apparatuses comprise one or more sensor bends configured to locate and/or hold a sensor in place during mounting. Some apparatuses utilize one or more dams and/or wells to retain epoxy for securing a sensor. Some apparatuses utilize a pocket and one or more adjacent areas and various transitions for preventing epoxy from wicking to undesired areas of the apparatus. Some apparatuses include heat-sealable thermoplastic elastomers for welding a cap to the apparatus. Related methods of fabricating such apparatuses and/or housings are also provided.

An electrode includes a body and a breakable container of contact-enhancing fluid on or in the body. The container is impermeable to the fluid, and is breakable in response to physical manipulation of the electrode to disperse the fluid into the body.

Disclosed herein are devices for measuring sweat that are substantially clogging free, having low dead volumes, and allowing a quick sensory response. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using such devices.

A wearable garment includes a compression fabric with at least one electrode coupled to the compression fabric or sewn into seams of the wearable garment. The electrode includes a first layer comprising a metal integral conductive silicone rubber material configured to lay proximate to a wearer of the garment. The electrode may also include a second layer including a conducting metal sheet and a conductive lead coupled to the second layer.
