1. A patient interface for a reusable optical sensor, the patient interface comprising:

  • a conformal placement element comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the conformal placement element has a compliant structure which conforms to a patient'"'"'s body upon placement of the first surface thereon; and

    a shoe fixed with the second surface of the conformal placement element and which is adapted to removably receive a reusable optical sensor;

    wherein the compliant structure comprises three or more wings which collectively cause optical elements of the sensor to rest flush against the patient'"'"'s body when the compliant structure conforms to the patient'"'"'s body without permitting ambient air or light to pass between the optical elements and the patient'"'"'s body, and wherein a first angle is formed between a first of the three or more wings and a second of the three or more wings, and a second angle is formed between the first of the three or more wings and a third of the three or more wings to reduce wrinkling of the three or more wings upon adherence to skin of the patient'"'"'s body.
