A method and apparatus for measuring physiological parameters obtaining a first signal derived from energy transmitted through a tissue portion at a first wavelength, said signal including a signal portion corresponding with motion-related events and a signal portion corresponding with arterial pulsation events, at the first wavelength water is a dominant absorber of electromagnetic energy in the tissue portion; obtaining a second signal derived from electromagnetic energy transmitted through a tissue portion at a second wavelength, said signal including a signal portion corresponding with motion-related events and a signal portion corresponding with arterial pulsation events, at the second wavelength hemoglobin is a dominant absorber of energy in the tissue portion; and combining the first and second signals to generate a combined plethysmograph signal, said combined signal has a signal portion corresponding with motion-related events that is smaller than that present in the first signal or second signal. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
