1. A monitoring system for measuring a physiological parameter, the system comprising:
a housing having electronics, the electronics including heat-generating electronics, a first sensor and a second sensor; the first sensor configured to measure a sensed amount of a physiological parameter and to generate a first signal based on the sensed amount of the physiological parameter measured by the first sensor; and the second sensor electrically connected to the electronics in the housing and configured to measure a temperature and to generate a second signal based on the temperature measured by the second sensor; the heat-generating electronics comprising a processor configured to determine an overall amount of the physiological parameter based on the first signal generated from the first sensor and the second signal generated from the second sensor; the second sensor held by a support structure, the second sensor thermally insulated from the heat-generating electronics and the first sensor and the second sensor are non-abutting; and a thermal insulation material arranged to thermally insulate the second sensor from the heat-generating electronics and the first sensor, while the second sensor remains electrically connected to the heat-generating electronics in the housing, wherein the thermal insulation material is configured to thermally insulate the second sensor so that the temperature measured by the second sensor is thermally insulated from heat emitted by the first sensor, and the thermal insulation material is arranged between the first sensor and the second sensor through all direct line-of-sight convection paths from the first sensor to the second sensor such that the temperature measured by the second sensor is isolated from the heat emitted by the first sensor through all direct line-of-sight convection paths. |
