- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18213506 Titled 'Physiological Monitoring System for Measuring Oxygen Saturation'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wearable device that has a housing with a back cover. The back cover has an optical mask on some parts of it and a set of windows. Some windows are defined by the absence of the optical mask, while others are inset in openings in the back cover and surrounded by an optical barrier. The device also includes light emitters that can emit light through the windows and light detectors that can receive light through the windows.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable device is described. The wearable device includes a housing having a back cover, and an optical mask on first portions of the back cover. The back cover includes a set of windows, with a first subset of windows in the set of windows being defined by an absence of the optical mask on second portions of the back cover, and a second subset of windows in the set of windows being inset in a set of openings in the back cover. An optical barrier surrounds each window in the second subset of windows. A set of light emitters is configured to emit light through at least some of the windows in the set of windows. A set of light detectors is configured to receive light through at least some of the windows in the set of windows.
