A method for a wearable device to determine a biological parameter of a tissue of a person. To apply an emitting of a first and a second wavelength of light towards the tissue. To collect and sense a first and a second set of frequency bands from the signals received back from the first and the second wavelengths respectively. The first set of frequency bands represents a first signal which corresponds to a combination of the biological parameter and an extraneous noise. The second set of frequency bands represents a second signal mainly comprising the extraneous noise. To subtract the first set of frequency bands from the second set of frequency bands in the frequency domain to obtain a third set of frequency bands. The third set of frequency bands represents a third signal corresponding to the biological parameter.

The phosphorescence oxygen analyzer has a light source including an LED array that flashes light at 1,000 flashes per second. The light flashes are received in a test chamber containing a carousel having a plurality (preferably ten) of sample vials mounted thereon. The samples a phosphorescent probe (palladium(II) complex, namely, meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl)tetrabenzoporphyrin; Pd phosphor) mixed with either a control sample of tissue or a sample of tissue and a suspected toxin or a pharmaceutical it is desired to test, the carousel being rotated to irradiate each vial in turn. The probe has an absorption maximum at 625 nm and emission maximum at 800 nm. Phosphorescent emissions are detected by a photomultiplier tube connected to a measurement 2020 board, which is connected to a processor that computes the lifetime and peak of the pulses, which determines the rate of phosphorescent decay due to oxygen metabolized by the tissue mitochondria.
