The present invention relates to a myocardial spectrometer probe, comprising: at least two separate light guides (120A, 120B), insertable in a tissue, wherein a first light guide (120A, 120B) is arranged to deliver light and a second light guide (120A, 120B) is arranged to collect light, and wherein the first light guide (120A, 120B) and the second light guide (120A, 120B) are arranged distinct to each other.

A biological-measurement device includes a light-emitting unit configured to emit light on a body of a test-subject, a light-detecting unit configured to detect light reflected in the body of the test-subject, a control-unit configured to calculate information regarding a pulse-wave of the body of the test-subject based on the light detected by the light-detecting unit, a circuit-board that is flexible and has a first-surface on which the light-emitting unit and the light-detecting unit are provided, the circuit-board further having wiring connecting the light-emitting unit and the control-unit together and connecting the light-detecting unit and the control-unit together, a shielding-unit that is provided on the first-surface, the shielding-unit being situated between the light-emitting unit and the light-detecting unit and configured to protrude beyond the light-emitting unit and the light-detecting unit in a direction perpendicular to the first-surface, and an adhesive-part for firmly contacting with the body of the test-subject.

Disclosed are devices and methods for estimating blood pressure, which implement a pulse-transit-time-based blood pressure model that can be calibrated. Some implementations provide reliable and user friendly means for calibrating the blood pressure model using blood pressure perturbation methods and multiple sensors.

Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for improved laser speckle imaging of samples, such as vascularized tissue, for the determination of the rate of movement of light scattering particles within the sample. The system includes a structure adjoining a light source and a photo-sensitive detector. The structure can be positioned adjacent the sample (e.g., coupled to the sample) and configured to orient the light source and detector relative the sample such that surface reflections, including specular reflections and diffuse reflections, are discouraged from entering the detection field of the detector. The separation distance along the structure between the light source and the detector may further enable selective depth penetration into the sample and biased sampling of multiply scattered photons. The system includes an operably coupled processor programmed to derive contrast metrics from the detector and to relate the contrast metrics to a rate of movement of the light scattering particles.

A sensing device includes a substrate, two chips, and a shielding structure. The two chips are respectively defined as an emitting chip and a receiving chip. The emitting chip can emit a sensing light beam, the receiving chip can receive the sensing light beam, and the two chips are fixed in position on the substrate at intervals. At least one of the chips is electrically connected to the substrate through at least one wire, and a position where the wire is connected to the substrate is located between the two chips. The shielding structure is formed on the substrate. The shielding structure is located between the two chips, and the shielding structure covers the wire and a portion of the chip connected to the wire. Compared with the conventional photo-plethysmography sensor, the sensing device has the advantage of a smaller size.

A physiological sensor has light emitting sources, each activated by addressing at least one row and at least one column of an electrical grid. The light emitting sources are capable of transmitting light of multiple wavelengths and a detector is responsive to the transmitted light after attenuation by body tissue.

A light shielding system configured to shield at least one eye of a patient from incident light for an electroretinogram includes a substantially lighttight shielding box enclosing an inner space arranged to receive a handheld Ganzfeld stimulator, which box is mountable over the at least one eye of the patient; the box including at least one sleeve extending into the box to allow manipulation of the Ganzfeld stimulator.

An optical data sensing device of a biological information measuring device, comprising: an optical sensor; a first light emitting device, configured to emit first light away from the optical sensor; and a first opaque isolation component, located between the optical sensor and the first light emitting device, configured to reduce the first light received by the optical sensor. The present invention also discloses an optical data sensing device comprising a plurality of light emitting devices with different emitting directions or wavelengths, to improve the accuracy of biological information measuring.

A wearable electronic device is disclosed, including: a housing having a front plate disposed facing in a first direction, a rear plate disposed facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, at least a part of the rear plate substantially transparent, and a side member defining a space between the front plate and the rear plate, a substrate disposed within the space, a biometric sensor module disposed between the substrate and the rear plate including at least one light source configured to emit light to an exterior of the wearable electronic device and at least one light detector configured to receive reflected light corresponding to the emitted light reflected from the exterior, and at least one magnetic substance disposed between the light source and the light detector to limit an amount of light reaching the biometric sensor module other than the reflected emitted light.

A watch having a cover is described. An optical sensor subsystem is attached adjacent to or directly on an interior surface of the cover. In some cases, the optical sensor subsystem includes a substrate to which a light emitter and a light receiver are attached. The light receiver is configured to receive light emitted by the light emitter and reflected from the skin of a person that wears the watch. In some cases, the light emitter and light receiver are separated by a light-blocking wall that abuts the interior surface of the cover. In some cases, a light filter is attached adjacent or directly on the interior surface of the cover, between the cover and the light receiver.
