Hat-based oximeter sensor
First Claim
1. A sensor comprising:
- a stocking cap;
a substrate disposed on the stocking cap;
at least one sensing component disposed on the substrate; and
an electrical connector disposed on the substrate, wherein the electrical connector extends from the substrate through an open portion of the stocking cap configured to be proximate to a top of the stocking cap when the stocking cap is applied to the patient.

Abstract
A method for use and an improved oximeter sensor substrate that is conforming to the shape of the patient'"'"'s forehead. In one embodiment, the present invention is an oximeter sensor, having a substrate with a shape similar to a shape of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s forehead and including a section adapted to substantially fit over a portion of a forehead of a patient; an emitter disposed on the substrate at a position located on the section; and a detector disposed on the substrate at a distance from the emitter. In one embodiment, the substrate includes a hat that holds the emitter and the detector in a spaced-part manner against the patient'"'"'s forehead.
