OPTICAL SENSOR FOR HEALTH MONITORING

摘要

The present invention relates to a device, a system, an algorithm, and a method for cardiac health and fitness monitoring of a person. More particularly, the invention relates to a sensor suitable for remote patient monitoring. The key to widespread acceptance of a remote sensor is to enable it for 'plug- and-play'. The ideal sensor should function out of the box without additional components, and it should provide a direct digital interface to a micro controller. It should also be small, and relatively low cost (few dollars or less).
