SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF BIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF A SUBJECT
First Claim
1. A system for use in monitoring of biological parameters of a subject, the system comprising:
- (i) an illumination unit including at least one light source of at least one pre-selected wavelength band, to be applied to a selected region in the subject; and
(ii) a detection system configured for measuring reflections of said light at different angles and different spatial locations with respect to the illuminated region, said detection system being configured and operable to detect spatially separated light components corresponding to the specular dependent component of the signal and the pulsatile-related diffused component of the signal coming from the subject in different directions respectively, thereby defining at least two independent channels of information, enabling identification of the reflected signal part dependent on motion effects.

Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for use in monitoring of biological parameters of a subject. The system includes an illumination unit including at least one light source of at least one pre-selected wavelength band, to be applied to a selected region in the subject; and a detection system configured for measuring reflections of the light at different angles and different spatial locations with respect to the illuminated region. The detection system is configured and operable to detect spatially separated light components corresponding to the specular dependent component of the signal and the pulsatile-related diffused component of the signal coming from the subject in different directions respectively, thereby defining at least two independent channels of information, enabling identification of the reflected signal part dependent on motion effects.

- 18. A method for use in non-invasive determination of biological parameters of a subject, the method comprising illuminating a selected region of the subject by light of at least one wavelength, and detecting reflections of said light from at least two distant geometrical locations in said selected region, such as to detect spatially separated light components coming from the illuminated region in different directions respectively, thereby defining at least two independent channels of information, enabling identification of the reflected signal part dependent on motion effects.
- 20. A method for extraction of biological signal out of noise and motion artifacts, the method comprising using opto-physiological invariants (OPI) to distinguish between a real biological signal and other interferences.
