==Nose Sensor - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18437099 titled 'Nose Sensor

The abstract describes a patent application for a patient monitor that can measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor secured to the patient's nose. The sensor includes an emitter, a detector, a diffuser, and a lens to facilitate the measurement process.

* The nose sensor is configured with an emitter and a detector to measure light attenuated by the patient's nose tissue.
* The detector generates signals based on the detected light, which are used to determine the physiological parameter.
* A diffuser in the sensor disperses light from the emitter into or around the patient's body.
* A lens in the sensor focuses light into the detector for accurate measurements.

Potential Applications:
- Monitoring vital signs in patients in a noninvasive manner.
- Continuous monitoring of physiological parameters during medical procedures.
- Tracking changes in health conditions over time.

Problems Solved:
- Provides a noninvasive method for measuring physiological parameters.
- Offers a convenient and comfortable monitoring solution for patients.
- Enables real-time monitoring of vital signs without the need for invasive procedures.

Benefits:
- Improved patient comfort and compliance during monitoring.
- Accurate and reliable measurements of physiological parameters.
- Enhanced data collection for healthcare professionals to make informed decisions.

Commercial Applications:
Title: Noninvasive Patient Monitoring System
This technology can be used in hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings for continuous monitoring of patients' vital signs. It has implications in telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and personalized healthcare services.

Questions about the technology:
1. How does the nose sensor ensure accurate measurements of physiological parameters?
2. What are the potential limitations of using a nose sensor for patient monitoring?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A patient monitor can noninvasively measure a physiological parameter using sensor data from a nose sensor configured to be secured to a nose of the patient. The nose sensor can include an emitter and a detector. The detector is configured to generate a signal when detecting light attenuated by the nose tissue of the patient. An output measurement of the physiological parameter can be determined based on the signals generated by the detector. The nose sensor can include a diffuser configured to disseminate light exiting from the emitter into or around a portion of the patient's body. The nose sensor can also include a lens configured to focus light into the detector.
